BoingBoing on Wednesday: Mainstream media quit Pentagon rather than sign pledge
Update: By end of day, a few more signed up; this post originally identified only one, OANN. The new Pentagon press corps appears to be The Federalist, the Epoch Times, OANN, a Turkish newspaper and a blogger from Korea.
The Epoch times is the mouth piece of the cult Falong Gong or Faluna Dafa. Hence why they are so anti china.
