White House names ‘fake news’ offenders in controversial new website

The White House has launched a new website, Misleading. Biased. Exposed, targeting media outlets it labels as 'fake news'. The platform lists journalists and organizations accused of bias, including The Washington Post and the BBC, both frequent critics of President Trump.

The website operates like a public bulletin board, listing accusations against journalists without providing detailed evidence or fact-checking. Its 'Offender Hall of Shame' includes The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, a vocal opponent of the Trump administration. The BBC’s entire staff also appears on the list—a rare case where an entire organization has been singled out.

The White House’s new website marks an escalation in its public criticism of the press. Media organizations like the BBC and The Washington Post remain under scrutiny, with the latter still producing critical reporting despite internal restrictions. The site’s lack of functional links and unsubstantiated claims has further fueled debate over its credibility and intent.
