Race To The Bottom: White House Launches ‘Media Offenders’ Leaderboard
Modernity News ^ | 11-29-25 | Steve Watson

Posted on 11/30/2025 6:30:50 AM PST by dynachrome

The Trump White House unveiled a scathing new website Friday, “Media Offenders,” complete with a “race to the bottom” leaderboard ranking outlets like The Washington Post as the worst for “false and misleading stories”—flagging everything from exaggerated Trump “sedition” claims to immigrant horror tales as “heinous” manipulations.

The interactive page features an “Offender Hall of Shame” logging repeat offenders and a weekly spotlight, like the current “Media Misrepresents and Exaggerates President Trump’s Calls for Democrat Accountability,” where Democrats and “Fake News” implied Trump issued “illegal orders” to the military—contrasted with “THE TRUTH”: “Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful.”

The site pits outlets like The Washington Post (worst for bias), MSNBC, CNN, CBS News, The New York Times, and Politico in a humiliating tally of “false and misleading stories flagged by The White House.”

Every press conference needs this on a big screen in the background, with a running total.

What took so long, and why are some still permitted at the WH?

The whole "White House Press Corps / Press Conference" thing isn't in the constitution or laws. It's a custom that arose in the 20th century in response to conditions very *unlike* the present.

Freedom of the press means they may print (or broadcast) what they please, but access is not a right.

Instead of doing what he's doing, Trump should close the White House Press Office entirely.

the only way to counter lies is with the truth.

We all need to be involved in countering lies. Unfortunately, that means we need to take the time and effort to discover the truth.

The truth is going to cost you, lies are free..............

Hahahahahahahaha!

It would be like a video game, with the score constantly changing, complete with sound effects every time there is a new leader.

(sound effect) Blooka-blooka-blooka!

NARRATOR: TAH DAH! The NEW Leader in the "Race to The Bottom" after their story about the Criminal Alien identity thief who is really the victim, not the American whose identity was stolen is...The New York Times!

(sound effect) Dooga-dooga-dooga!

I looked it up. Pretty cool! It specifically labels the bias or lying article and lists the offender by name!

I hope wins his case against The BBC for doctoring his speech:

“Donald Trump has confirmed he will pursue legal action against the BBC over its editing of a speech he delivered on January 6, 2021, despite the broadcaster issuing an apology.
...Trump stated he intends to sue the BBC for between $1 billion and $5 billion, with the lawsuit expected to be filed as early as next week.”

Do it, President Trump, against each and every media outlet that distorts, lies and twists your words to fit their lefty, Trump-hating agenda.

They don’t care about facts and they are all for media manipulation as long as it advances their agenda.

Exactly. They will brag about “making the list” like its some kind of prize or cred thing.

Since the Left largely controls the media they have no problem with outlets that “shape” the news to advance the liberal agenda. In fact, its what their readers and viewers expect.

Well, the question is are you free with responsibilities or are you a slave to evil? That is a mindset, a matter of the heart. It is a choice to a degree.

The bigger picture is we are all slaves to sin. Original sin, decisions our ancestors made, govt, influence of media, etc. You are a slave.

Absolute freedom does not exist.

But, there is a better master. You can be a bondservant instead of a slave. There are subtle important differences for reflection. I will let the reader do their own thinking.

access is not a right

These days the media has more than just access. I don't know when it all started, but these days the media is catered to excessively, in my opinion. There is a legit press photographer with White House access who has a YouTube channel (penguinsix) where he shares a lot of behind-the-scenes views of media WH access. He also shares goings on in DC and environs. (He is 100% non-partisan.)

Thanks to him, I have learned that the media is permitted to store dozens of ladders behind some shrubs for use when they gather to film the president, dignitaries, and events at the WH. They stand on the ladders to see over the heads of reporters down front. Also, there is a row of permanent blue tents for the TV media. The tents are open on one side so when a TV reporter is giving a report from the WH, it looks like they are standing on the lawn in front of the building, but they are actually inside their media tent. When that became a thing, I don't know, but the WH accommodates the media far too much, again in my opinion.

“Instead of doing what he’s doing, Trump should close the White House Press Office entirely.”

I used to think that - but Trump II and his team score a win every time they interact with the fake news.

The fake news actually does more damage when left alone.. when they in the Whitehouse press room, they are completely at the mercy of President Trump, Caroline Leavett or whoever on his team is taking point.

The fake news has become a lot like that that easy-to-beat drunk at the bar who keeps wanting a rematch at 8 ball. Sure, I’ll take another easy $20 from you.
