Judge refuses to block Pentagon from firing Stars and Stripes staffers over CBS interview
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported2m ago
A federal judge on Friday declined to block the Pentagon from firing three staff members of the military news outlet Stars and Stripes. The employees argue they were illegally disciplined and targeted for speaking out in a CBS interview regarding the publication's need to maintain editorial independence.
The court's ruling allows the Defense Department to proceed for now with actions aimed at exerting greater editorial control over the news outlet. The dispute centers on the balance between military oversight and the journalistic independence of the staff.
