Not at all. NPR didn't agree to the Pentagon Policy. They were treated no differently than any other news org that declined to do the same.

Many cared about for a long time. The alignment finally was achieved that allowed to end funding for CPB, something that should've been done years prior. It's no about restricting speech. It's about not funding entities that don't merit it.

the presidenty and his people have a clear set of past behaviors that target, demean and attack the press they dont agree with. its clearly abou restricting free speech they dont agree with.

Insulting reporters, calling them names, trashing the organizations they work for... and im not even talking about NPR here

They were kicked out in February 2025. The new policy happened a few months later:

Restricting free speech? Give me a break! If he attacks the press, all they need to do is fire back. That's free speech!

He has secret service agents protecting him. They carry guns. Also the white house press people will ban you permanently if you talk back.

He doesn't care who he bans. He kicked out the AP. They had to sue to get back in.
