The media is once again outraged at a supposed “attack on free speech” from the Trump administration, this time over the launch of a media bias tracker on the White House website. But while liberal journalists can complain all they want that someone is calling out their biased and dishonest reporting, the new web page is exactly the accountability tool that Americans deserve.
The tracker, which officially went live late last month, lists a “Media Offender of the Week” detailing news articles sharing misleading or outright false reporting. This week’s offender is The Washington Post for publishing “an article from two unnamed sources claiming Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a Joint Special Operations commander to ‘kill everybody’ during an anti-terrorist operation in the Caribbean Sea.”
The page then sets the record straight with a “truth” section. In this case, that section reads: “The Department of War killed 11 narco-terrorists in a coordinated strike designed to ‘kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.’ This attack was the first in a series of lethal kinetic strikes against Designated Terrorist Organizations. The Washington Post published this unsubstantiated claim in an attempt to discredit the United States’ warfighters and inflame anti-American sentiment.”
The page also includes an “Offender Hall of Shame,” creating a record of every media hoax and baseless smear. Top offenders include the Post, CBS News, CNN, and MSNBC.
