The White House launched a “Media Bias Offender Tip Line,” encouraging Americans to report instances of media bias.
“Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media — a tall task that demands the help of everyone who believes in facts and accuracy over Fake News,” the website explains. “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable.”
The tip line directs Americans to insert their email address, the name of the offending media outlet, and the link to the article.
“So-called ‘journalists’ have made it impossible to identify every false or misleading story, which is why help from the American people is essential. The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over,” the site adds. “If the legacy media won’t honor their responsibility to accurately inform the public, we know the American people will.”
The tip line builds upon the White House’s media bias portal. The database is designed to catalogue the “avalanche of lies, deliberate distortions, and manufactured hoaxes churned out by activist ‘journalists’ and their failing outlets.” The site lists the media’s “offense” versus the “truth.”
“Fully sortable and routinely updated, it ensures no hoax, no anonymously ‘sourced’ fan fiction, and no partisan smear gets memory-holed again,” the site explains, adding that the Trump administration is “pushing back in real time to ensure the American people get the unfiltered truth — no ideological filter, no corporate spin, only the facts so they can decide for themselves.”
