Pentagon Issues Termination Notices to Three Stars and Stripes Journalists
Verified
The Department of Defense issued termination notices on August 21 to three journalists at the federally funded military news outlet Stars and Stripes. While the Pentagon is seeking greater editorial control over the publication, the affected journalists allege the actions constitute illegal punishment. In related legal proceedings, Judge Trevor McFadden recently denied an injunction request, leaving the potential job losses unresolved.
