WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has ordered the military's independent
newspaper, Stars and Stripes, to cease publication at the end of the
month, despite Congressional efforts to continue funding the
century-old publication.

The order to halt publication by Sept. 30, and dissolve the
organization by the end of January, is the latest salvo in the
Pentagon's move earlier this year to cut the $15.5 million in funding
for the paper from the department's budget. And it is a reflection of
the Trump administration's broader animosity for the media and members
of the press.

This really, really sucks.

I suppose it might depend on how many people actually read it. Ernie
Pyle's readers didn't have an I-phone.
OTOH if Trump loses, it can be Biden's new pert project.
