John,
The Trump White House quietly launched a government-funded media blacklist on WhiteHouse.gov — a new feature called the Media Bias Tracker.
It’s exactly what it sounds like: a taxpayer-funded propaganda tool that labels mainstream outlets as “biased,” boosts MAGA influencers as “approved media,” and aggregates attacks on journalists Trump wants to punish.
And, disturbingly, the site features a “tipline” where the public can tell on media organizations for showing “bias.”
It’s all being hosted on WhiteHouse.gov. And it’s being funded by your tax dollars, John
Trump’s Media Bias Tracker is a textbook authoritarian move.
Designed to mimic the Drudge Report and MAGA influencer feeds, its purpose is clear — and chilling:
- Discredit real journalism whenever reporting contradicts Trump
- Elevate far-right propaganda as “official” news
- Intimidate and endanger reporters by spotlighting them as “biased”
- Build a government-run enemies list of outlets Trump wants investigated or punished
- Mobilize a MAGA mob to report and harass journalists they don’t like
And again — your tax dollars are paying for it, John.
The Media Bias Tracker is the latest phase in Trump’s push to replace an independent press with a state-aligned propaganda machine.
In Solidarity,
