Pentagon announces revamped press corps with Just the News on roster

The Department of War on Wednesday announced a revamped iteration of the Pentagon press corps, with Just the News entering the scene for the first time.

"We are excited to announce over 60 journalists, representing a broad spectrum of new media outlets and independent journalists, have signed the Pentagon’s media access policy and will be joining the new Pentagon press corps," DOW spokesman Sean Parnell stated.

"New media outlets and independent journalists have created the formula to circumvent the lies of the mainstream media and get real news directly to the American people," he added. "Their reach and impact collectively are far more effective and balanced than the self-righteous media who chose to self-deport from the Pentagon. Americans have largely abandoned digesting their news through the lens of activists who masquerade as journalists in the mainstream media. We look forward to beginning a fresh relationship with members of the new Pentagon press corps."

The announcement follows the Pentagon issuing sweeping changes to its press guidelines that many legacy outlets refused to embrace. Even some mainstream right-leaning outlets, such as the Washington Times and Newsmax, declined to sign on to the new policies, when they were first announced earlier this month.

Just the News, for its part, has agreed to the terms and is actively seeking a full-time Pentagon correspondent.

"Covering the military has never been more important," Editor-in-Chief John Solomon said.
