The US presidential administration has created an online list of outlets it accuses of misleading coverage

The White House has introduced a new “media bias” tracker that publicly identifies news outlets it accuses of publishing false and misleading stories.

The move comes amid US President Donald Trump’s long-running confrontation with what he calls the “fake news media,” a term he has used for years to describe coverage he considers inaccurate or hostile.

Debuted on Friday, the tracker appears as a dedicated section on the White House website under the banner “Misleading. Biased. Exposed.” The page features weekly examples of reporting the administration disputes, linking to the original stories and categorizing them as “Misrepresentation,” “Omission of context,” “Bias” or “Malpractice.”

The administration said in a statement that the site is intended to serve as a “record of the media’s false and misleading stories flagged by the White House.”
