NBC News is being kicked out of its space in the Pentagon and replaced by OANN.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
SUBJECT: New Annual Media Rotation Program for Pentagon Press Corps
For over a half-century, the Pentagon Press Corps has benefited from working out of individual office spaces that provide coveted and open access to some of the Department's top military and civilian leaders.
Known as the Correspondents' Corridor, this office space loaned to media outlets by the
Secretary of Defense stands as a tribute to the importance the Department has long placed on informing the public about the U.S. military and all it does to project peace through strength. It also honors the many correspondents who put their lives on the line, and in many cases died, while covering our finest in battle.
In order to broaden access to the limited space of the Correspondents' Corridor to outlets
that have not previously enjoyed the privilege and journalistic value of working from physical office space in the Pentagon, beginning February 14, 2025, the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs will implement a new Annual Media Rotation Program for those dedicated media spaces.
Each year, one outlet from each press medium - print, online, television and radio - that
has enjoyed working from a physical office in the Pentagon will rotate out of the building 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.
This year, the following news outlets will begin their rotation by vacating their physical
office space effective Friday, February 14, 2025:
Print - The New York Times
TV - NBC News
Radio - National Public Radio
Online News - POLITICO
In their place, the following outlets from each medium will be invited to move into the
Correspondents' Corridor workspaces formerly occupied by the above four outlets.
Print - New York Post
TV - One America News Network
Radio - Breitbart News Network
Online News - HuffPost News (aka The Huffington Post)

To be clear, the outlets that vacate the spaces loaned to them by the Secretary will remain as full members of the Pentagon Press Corps. They will continue to enjoy the same media access to the Pentagon and will be able to attend and cover briefings and be considered for travel with civilian and military leaders in the Department as they have previously.
The only change will be giving up their physical workspaces in the building to allow new
outlets to have their turn to become resident members of the Pentagon Press Corps.
Thank you in advance for participating in the Pentagon Press Corps Annual Media
Rotation Program. By turning over the office space loaned to you by the Secretary, you will ensure that new outlets will have the same opportunity you have enjoyed covering our nation's finest up close from office spaces inside the walls of the Pentagon.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Morning Joe decided to normalize relations with Donald Trump.

ABC News decided to hand Trump a $15 million settlement payment.

"Legacy" media wants to normalize Trump. We can't let it.

In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump appointed his son in law's father to be the next French ambassador and his daughter's father in law to be a special envoy to the Middle East.

Nepotism and corruption at its finest.
