The White House has opened a new page on its official website accusing journalists and news organisations of biased or misleading coverage of President Donald Trump

The section, titled “Misleading, Biased, Exposed,” ranks stories it claims distorted the president’s remarks, particularly those involving Democratic lawmakers and the military.

The Boston Globe, CBS News, and the Independent were listed as “media offenders of the week” over reports about six Democratic lawmakers who urged military personnel not to follow illegal orders.

Trump condemned their stance as “seditious” and reposted calls to “hang them,” prompting criticism across Washington. The new webpage argues that media outlets wrongly implied Trump had issued unlawful commands, saying all his orders were legal.

The site also features an “Offender Hall of Shame,” listing the Washington Post, CNN, MS Now, and others. A searchable database categorises flagged stories under terms such as “bias,” “malpractice,” and “left wing lunacy.”

The Washington Post tops the list. One highlighted article involved a Coast Guard policy change on hate symbols that was reversed shortly afterward. The Post published a follow-up noting the reversal and said it stands by its “accurate, rigorous journalism.”

Other outlets listed include the Associated Press, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Politico, and Axios. The launch follows years of clashes between Donald Trump and the press, including lawsuits, hostile exchanges, and attempts to restrict access for some reporters.

The move underscores the hardened relationship between the White House and much of the media as Trump enters the later phase of his presidency.
