Mainecat Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Another Trump fuck the vets move..... Trump admin orders military newspaper Stars and Stripes to shut down (in print since the Civil War) https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/09/04/trump-and-stars-and-stripes-attacking-american-icon-column/5706859002/ The Pentagon has ordered Stars and Stripes to shut down for no good reason Trump wants to pull funding from Stars and Stripes, a newspaper for American troops that began in the Civil War and has been serving our soldiers. Even for those of us who are all too wearily familiar with President Donald Trump’s disdain for journalists, his administration’s latest attack on the free press is a bit of a jaw-dropper. In a heretofore unpublicized recent memo, the Pentagon delivered an order to shutter Stars and Stripes, a newspaper that has been a lifeline and a voice for American troops since the Civil War. The memo orders the publisher of the news organization (which now publishes online as well as in print) to present a plan that “dissolves the Stars and Stripes” by Sept. 15 including "specific timeline for vacating government owned/leased space worldwide.” “The last newspaper publication (in all forms) will be September 30, 2020,” writes Col. Paul Haverstick Jr., the memo’s author. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump and the republicans can try with all their might to control the message. The more they try the more pushback there will be.
