White House launches website to excoriate media for ‘biased’ stories

The White House launched a new website section on Friday dedicated to publicly criticizing media organizations it deems biased or inaccurate. The page, titled "Misleading. Biased. Exposed," names specific outlets like the Boston Globe, CBS News, and the Independent as "media offenders of the week" for their coverage of President Trump's remarks regarding Democratic lawmakers. The site features an "Offender Hall of Shame" and a searchable database of articles categorized by labels such as "bias" and "malpractice," along with the journalists who wrote them. The Washington Post, MSNBC, and CBS News are currently ranked as the top offenders. This initiative represents an escalation in the Trump administration's ongoing attacks on the media, following lawsuits and repeated accusations of being the "enemy of the people."
