"New White House “Hall of Shame” Webpage Expands Trump’s War On The Press"

"“Misleading. Biased. Exposed.” Far from encouraging trustworthy journalism, the new media bias page on the White House website is the Trump administration’s latest effort to pillory the media. Journalists and outlets critical of Trump’s measures are labelled as “offenders” with no factual breakdown of why their reporting is incorrect. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) urges the White House to take the page down immediately."

"As of December 3, 2025, CBS News and newspapers The Boston Globe and The Independent are the stars of the “Media Offender of the Week” section on the new webpage, which falsely accuses them of misrepresenting statements made by President Donald Trump.

The White House also lists a number of media reports that it claims are false or misleading in a “Hall of Shame,” without providing any concrete evidence for these accusations. Each article is assigned to one or more categories, such as “‘Lie” and “‘Left-Wing Madness”’ – categories that expose the crude political tenor of this taxpayer-funded site.

Further down the page, visitors will find a “Leaderboard”, ranking media outlets that the White House alleges have repeatedly reported inaccurately, with The Washington Post at the top of the list as of publication. MSNBC (recently renamed MS NOW) and CBS News are in second and third place, followed by CNN, The New York Times, Politico and The Wall Street Journal. The section includes graphics that emulate professional data journalism — but use highly questionable data — mimicking a growing trend of “information washing” increasingly employed by authoritarian regimes. "
