The White House quietly rolled out a new page on its official website over the Thanksgiving weekend that tells the truth about how too many legacy outlets have been covering this administration. Titled “Misleading. Biased. Exposed.,” the section is the kind of blunt accountability Americans have been asking for — naming specific stories and journalists instead of pretending every mistake is a neutral “correction.”
This isn’t a passive blog post; it’s a functioning tracker with a “Media Offender of the Week,” an “Offender Hall of Shame,” and a searchable index that tags reporting errors as “bias,” “malpractice,” “lie,” or even “left-wing lunacy.” The White House lays out the alleged missteps, offers short rebuttals and links to source material so the public can judge for themselves instead of relying on partisan gatekeepers.
The launch was no accident — it was triggered by a recent episode where six Democratic lawmakers published a video urging service members to refuse illegal orders and parts of the press flamed that into a false narrative about the President calling for executions. The White House says the media distorted the facts, and the new page aims to compile those distortions in one place so they can’t keep gaslighting the American people.
Conservatives should welcome a government that fights back against a press corps that has grown into an unaccountable political actor. For years blue-check journalists have treated opinion as news and anonymous sourcing as gospel; putting a public record of repeated errors on the government’s own site forces the conversation in a more honest direction. That is accountability, not intimidation, and it’s past time the media answer for the damage their false narratives do to elections, national security, and civic trust.
Of course the usual suspects are shrieking about “danger to the press” and “state intimidation,” with outlets like The Washington Post defending their reporting as “accurate, rigorous.” But Americans know which outlets habitually editorialize and which ones actually try to report facts. When mainstream papers double down on mistakes or omit context, citizens deserve to see a clear, sourced ledger — not another sanctimonious lecture about “freedom of the press” while that same press wields unchecked power.
This move also exposes the double standard in the media ecosystem: conservatives are called liars and grifters for pushing back, while a left-leaning press that repeatedly gets big stories wrong faces little consequence beyond a few polite editor’s notes. The White House tracker tears that façade down and hands ordinary Americans the receipts, which is exactly why the press establishment is desperate to smear the effort as authoritarian.
Hardworking patriots who have watched the mainstream media ignore crimes, push narratives, and weaponize coverage against our side should thank this administration for giving them a tool to fight back. Hold the media to the standard they demand of others: accuracy, context, and accountability — and keep your eyes open when they whine about being held accountable themselves.
