The White House under President Donald J. Trump has unveiled a dedicated webpage titled “Misleading.

Biased.

Exposed.” — a sharp escalation in its campaign against media outlets it accuses of misrepresenting facts.

The site publishes a “Media Offenders of the Week” list and a persistent “Offender Hall of Shame,” naming major organisations such as The Washington Post, CBS News, CNN and others as repeat offenders.

At launch, the “offenders of the week” included The Boston Globe, CBS News and The Independent, which the administration said “misrepresented” remarks by six Democratic lawmakers who produced a video urging U.S. service members not to follow unlawful orders.

The White House argued none of the President’s commands were unlawful, and accused those outlets of framing them as such.

The portal allows visitors to search by outlet, reporter or type of offence — from “bias” to “left-wing lunacy” or “misrepresentation” — and even subscribe to weekly “Offender Alerts.” The site includes a leaderboard of what the White House defines as the worst offenders and archives over thirty articles it deems misleading.

The launch follows a sweeping review of media relations by the administration.

Earlier in 2025 the White House replaced the traditional press-pool selection process, choosing which outlets may cover the president — a move seen by many as favouring supporters and conservative-leaning organisations.

Under this environment, the new website is viewed as an assertive attempt to redefine and control the public narrative.

Media-watch organisations and journalism advocates have reacted sharply, warning the move could erode press freedom and undermine independent journalism.

Observers describe the site as a formal effort to classify dissenting outlets as enemies of truth — an approach aligning with a broader global trend of governments trying to shape media narratives.

As the White House doubles down, the boundaries between official messages and independent reporting appear more contested than ever.
