\u201cThe Daily Show<\/a>\u201d this week sarcastically agreed to the Pentagon\u2019s new press restrictions in a social media post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

celebrity.land refused to sign<\/a>, as did the major networks and most major conservative outlets, while critics accused the War, er, Defense Department of constricting press freedom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe Daily Show\u201d joined the likes of OAN in caving to Hegseth\u2019s demands \u2015 but in the name of mockery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cAfter serious consideration, The Daily Show has agreed to the Pentagon\u2019s new demands regarding press access,\u201d the program wrote Wednesday on X<\/a>, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe were going to refuse, but everyone else rejected it so hard that it honestly made us feel kinda bad for Pete Hegseth,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cThe poor guy couldn\u2019t even get Fox News<\/a> to sign on, and he WORKED for them a few months ago. Even Newsmax refused! Brutal. So we\u2019re gonna join in, just so One America isn\u2019t the only signature on this thing. It\u2019s all just too humiliating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Pentagon press corps has shrunk massively after the edict. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe Daily Show\u201d is not really a member of the regular Pentagon press pool \u2014 but enjoy your compromised access anyway, you hilariously spineless rogues!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
