Media blacklist on the White House website. CNN and The New York Times among defendants

The official website of the White House has a section with a list of media and journalists who, according to the US administration, are biased towards US President Donald Trump, wrote “The Guardian”.

The website was launched on Friday and its aim is to stigmatize authors and texts that Trump believes are biased or intended to mislead public opinion.

The list currently includes, among others: Independent portal, “The Boston Globe” and CBS television as “media culprits of the week”.

On the website you can also see the “gallery of shame”, which includes, among others: The Washington Post, The Hill website and CBS, CNN and MSNBC television stations. There is also a search for the names of journalists and titles of articles assessed by the White House as examples of bias, “abuse” or “left-wing madness.” The Washington Post is currently in first place on the list.

The White House website also lists the Associated Press news agency, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and the Politico and Axios websites on the list of media outlets it accuses of bias or disinformation.

The launch of this section on the White House website is another element of the Trump administration's fight against the main media in the US, often described by the American president as “enemies of the people” – said “The Guardian”. (PAP)
