The New York Times has initiated legal action against the U.S. Department of Defense and Secretary Pete Hegseth, contesting new regulations that require journalists to report only authorized Defense Department information. Most major news organizations refused to comply with the new policy, resulting in their replacement by outlets selected by the Pentagon.

The lawsuit alleges that these restrictions infringe on press freedom and free speech rights. The legal challenge comes amid broader scrutiny of the Pentagon's handling of sensitive information and ongoing controversies involving U.S. military actions and internal communications.

El New York Times demanda al Pentágono y a Hegseth por las restricciones de prensa

Más controversia esta mañana en torno al Secretario de Defensa de EE.UU., Pete Hegseth. El New York Times dice que va a demandar a Hegseth y al Pentágono por las nuevas normas que limitan el acceso a los periodistas. Traigamos a Willie Lowry. Está siguiendo la historia para nosotros esta hora, desde nuestra oficina en Washington. Así que Willie, vamos a hablar de esto otra vez, un tema del que hemos oído hablar antes, pero ahora de por supuesto el Times tomando medidas diciendo que esta nueva política es inconstitucional. Así es, Angie. Todo esto comenzó en septiembre cuando el Pentágono emitió estas nuevas restricciones sobre periodistas. Tras algunas reticencias, la normativa se aprobó en octubre. El Pentágono quería que todos los periodistas acreditados firmaran un documento en el que esencialmente se comprometían a sólo informar sobre las publicaciones autorizadas por el Departamento de Defensa, es decir, sin filtraciones. La gran mayoría de los periodistas y organizaciones de noticias que cubren el Pentágono se negaron a a firmar y, de forma un tanto dramática, se retiraron en masa. Ahora han sido sustituidos por organizaciones y blogueros mayoritariamente de derechas elegidos a dedo por el Pentágono. Y esta misma semana, el Departamento de Defensa celebró su primera rueda de prensa desde la nueva regulaciones entraron en vigor. Ahora el New York Times está demandando al Departamento de Defensa y al Secretario Pete Hegseth, argumentando que las restricciones están infringiendo el Times y el derecho de sus periodistas a la libertad de expresión y a la libertad de prensa. Y esencialmente esto, por supuesto, como usted ha señalado, es una especie de prevenir cualquiera de esas fugas a la policía, si se puede llamar así a la forma en que los medios de comunicación están informando de las cosas. Pero, ¿han impedido realmente estas nuevas normas las filtraciones? ¿Ha tenido éxito, Willie? La verdad es que no. Los periodistas siguen siendo periodistas y haciendo lo que hacen. Y esta demanda en realidad llega en un momento en que Hegseth y el Pentágono están bajo escrutinio sobre su propio manejo de información sensible. Los medios de comunicación de EE.UU. informan que una revisión del inspector general del Pentágono encontró que el Secretario Hegseth arriesgó la seguridad de las tropas de EE.UU. cuando se comunicó a través de la mensajería sobre los próximos ataques de EE.UU. contra los rebeldes Houthi en Yemen. En marzo, un periodista de The Atlantic fue añadido accidentalmente a la cadena de mensajería. Hegseth respondió al informe de IG en las redes sociales diciendo, cito, no hay información clasificada, exoneración total, caso cerrado, Houthis bombardeados hasta la sumisión. Gracias por su atención a este informe. Ahora también se está gestando una controversia sobre el lanzamiento por parte de la administración Trump de más más de 20 ataques contra presuntos barcos de la droga en el Caribe que han matado a unas 80 personas. Ahora hay un esfuerzo bipartidista en marcha en el Capitolio para tratar de aprender más acerca de la primer ataque el 2 de septiembre, en medio de la preocupación de que un golpe de seguimiento puede haber sido ilegal o incluso un crimen de guerra. Es importante señalar, Angie, que hasta ahora la Casa Blanca ha defendido a Hegseth y apoya al Secretario de Defensa. Willie, te agradezco la información. Gracias por esto.
