U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, in an unprecedented move, announced late on Friday that it would remove four media organizations including the New York Times from their dedicated office spaces in the Pentagon, citing a desire to make room for others.
The memo on a "New Annual Media Rotation Program" said it would also remove National Public Radio, Comcast-owned NBC News and Politico, which must vacate their spaces by Feb. 14. In their place, it would give dedicated office space to the New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost News.
Each year going forward, one outlet from print, online, television and radio will rotate out of the Pentagon "to allow a new outlet from the same medium that has not had the unique opportunity to report as a resident member of the Pentagon Press Corps," the memo said.
