Hegseth sends goodbye emoji to news outlets protesting press policy

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday derided media outlets that said their reporters would not sign the Pentagon’s restrictive new press policy, using a goodbye handwave emoji in responding to social media posts announcing their decisions.

The Associated Press, Reuters, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, CNN and NPR have all said their journalists would not sign the new paperwork that says they will abide by or acknowledge they understand the new rules around Pentagon access. Many posted their statements on social media.
