US Military newspaper editor voices censorship fears after being fired

The editor-in-chief of the US military newspaper Stars and Stripes was fired by the Department of Defense for "insubordination," with the editor claiming the dismissal relates to his statement that censorship would be a "red line" in a CBS interview. The firing, along with that of a reporter and publisher, has raised concerns about press freedom and Pentagon censorship, particularly amid tensions between the Trump administration and US media. Stars and Stripes maintains editorial independence through congressional mandate despite partial Pentagon funding.
