"The White House launched the official site on Friday, naming and shaming major news outlets and journalists it claims have twisted coverage of Trump and his handling of a controversy involving six Democratic lawmakers. The move marks one of the administration's most direct efforts yet to air its grievances against the media and to publish them under the presidential seal."
"According to the Washington Post, however, Fox News was also listed on the page, but for the work of a journalist who is not employed at the network. A Fox News spokesperson told the newspaper that the criticism was misdirected. After the network raised its objection, the White House removed Fox News from the list. An Offender Hall of Shame expands the campaign further, listing the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and others, each tagged with categories such as bias, malpractice, or left-wing lunacy."
The White House launched a Hall of Shame website naming and criticizing major news outlets and journalists it says misrepresented President Trump and his handling of a controversy involving six Democratic lawmakers. The site labels media as "Misleading. Biased. Exposed." and singles out the Boston Globe, CBS News, and The Independent for allegedly misrepresenting Trump's response after Democrats released a video urging service members not to follow illegal orders. Fox News was briefly listed for work by a journalist not employed by the network; Fox objected and the White House removed the entry. The site expands the campaign with tags like bias, malpractice, or left-wing lunacy and features a leaderboard putting the Washington Post first amid mounting attacks on the press.
