The White House has introduced a government-run webpage that publicly names, ranks, and denounces journalists and news organizations it accuses of biased reporting, escalating President Trump's long-running attacks on the media.
The White House has introduced a new feature on its official website that compiles and publicly denounces news organizations and reporters it claims have misrepresented events or presidential statements, marking a sharp escalation in the administration's confrontational approach toward the press.
The newly launched section opens with the headline "Misleading. Biased. Exposed." and identifies several outlets as "media offenders of the week", including the Boston Globe, CBS News, and The Independent. The accusations focus on their reporting of President Trump's response to a video released by six Democratic lawmakers urging military personnel not to follow unlawful commands.
The controversy intensified after Trump took to social media, accusing the lawmakers of "seditious behavior, punishable by death" and sharing a post containing the phrase "hang them."
According to the White House webpage, "The Democrats and Fake News Media subversively implied that President Trump had issued illegal orders to service members. Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful. It is dangerous for sitting Members of Congress to incite insubordination in the United States’ military, and President Trump called for them to be held accountable." (more...)
