Not sure why people haven't figured it out - bad news is only happening if it is reported. So if you could simply stop reporting the bad news, then they wouldn't be happening. Seems pretty obvious to me.
It's similar to testing in software development. The more tests you have, the more the tests can break. Therefore the ideal number of tests is zero - no tests, no red builds.
Not sure why people can't get with the program here.

In the same vein as, "it's the police who create crime."

Crime, fraud, bribery, assaults, supreme court tampering, supreme court buy outs, government waste, the list is long for the program at hand.

"Instead of signing the new policy, the Times journalists — along with dozens of reporters from other outlets — turned in their press passes, opting to cover the military from outside the complex. The Pentagon later welcomed a reconstituted press corps consisting of pro-Trump commentators and influencers."

Reminds me of - Stop the testing to reduce Covid cases.
Yep. Same reason going to the doctor is fatal. A cancer diagnosis is terrifying and correlates to dying of cancer. Why would anyone take the risk?

The Pentagon should just ban all access to the Pentagon for outsiders then. Journalists have no right to snoop there, snoop within a companies office, or snoop within your own home. The journalist class is not a friend to invite over.

I hadn't realized the Times isn't going along with the DoD "de-brand". On this occasion, I will hand it to them.
