Journalists surrender Pentagon access as new rules take effect

We are learning more after multiple reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday. They did so rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work. Leadership in the United States has called the new rules "common sense" to help regulate a "very disruptive" press. LiveNOW’s Austin Westfall is learning more from someone who left the Pentagon today, Tara Copp, a correspondent from the Washington Post.

“Our members did nothing to create this disturbing situation,” the Pentagon Press Association said in a statement Monday. “It arises from an entirely one-sided move by Pentagon officials apparently intent upon cutting the American public off from information they do not control and pre-approve.”
