Why a judge eviscerating the Pentagon rules for censoring and punishing journalists is a victory for the press

I don’t hear any cheering out there.

A federal judge has thrown out the Pentagon’s draconian restrictions on what journalists can report, but most Americans don’t care.

A policy that led to the eviction of major news organizations — from the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal, to ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox News — has been overturned. It’s a big-time win for free speech.

But the media’s credibility is at an all-time low, the result of years of bias, blunders and boneheadedness.
