On the Media · The Pentagon is Waging War on Its Own Paper · 4 Sep 2026 podcast

She said, I'm working for stars and stripes, not for the Pentagon, not for any administration, not for any policymaker. voice-verified

I'm here to cover the military. voice-verified

Was that insubordinate? voice-verified

Maybe it was. voice-verified

I think it's worth noting that these termination notices came just the day after the paper published a piece about the worsening conditions aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during the war. voice-verified

The carrier had gone over 250 days without a port visit, a historically long deployment. voice-verified

Defense Secretary Pete Heggseth claimed that. voice-verified

That the conditions aboard the carrier were, quote, completely misrepresented. voice-verified

Was that a Stars and Stripes scoop? voice-verified

What did Lara report? voice-verified

We later heard that people were harming themselves on that ship. voice-verified

And Stars and Stripes has done that when it comes to bad housing for the military overseas or insufficient health care. voice-verified

But you don't see yourself as an adversary to the uh powers that be, but as a kind of a tool. voice-verified

What do you mean on the economy? voice-verified

When I spoke to uh Eric Slavin back in January, that was when Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon spokesperson, released the memo claiming that the Defense Department would make dramatic changes to the paper to quote modernize its operation, refocus its content away from woke distractions that he says siphon morale. voice-verified

Then in March. voice-verified

March, the Pentagon published a quote, modernization plan, reaffirming its independence, while also forbidding it from purchasing news from wire services like the Associated Press or even comic strips or syndicated features. voice-verified

Why? voice-verified

They say that they can find that information on the internet. voice-verified

They don't need stars and stripes. voice-verified
