If that's what the NavyNavy does, imagine what the NavyNavyNavy would do.

What bullshit news is this. Where is the reason? Where is the journalism?

It's the Navy times bro don't expect good things. Also it's a propaganda network.

Who needs journalism when you can get CLICKS!

"He's gone and we're not gonna say why, but if you point that out we're not going to call you the next time we have some news and we'll never issue a press pass to anyone from your organization ever again." - The Navy (probably)

Still no excuse for just slapping your masthead on their press release and calling it journalism, but there may be a bit of nuance here

If the news started telling us why, we would be able to form our own opinions on the information it provides. The 'why' has been a thing of the past for decades.

Did they even try to get a comment from Cmdr. Michael Lyle cause the article doesn't even say...

[–] Salamendacious 2 points 1 year ago

I was kind of hoping someone reading it might have some insight because I searched around briefly but I couldn't get any more information.

[–] darganon 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That seems like an extremely strong statement from the Navy, or maybe it's normal. Either way yikes.

[–] ViewSonik 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, big yikes.

[–] SheeEttin 1 points 1 year ago

That's the standard statement for anyone getting removed. It doesn't mean anything. For all we know, this could be due to something some junior enlisted did that he had no knowledge or control over.

Reason: Set sail after leaving his ICBM launch key in his car. I blame the rise of key fobs.
