A CALL TO ACTION: Trump White House Launches a ‘Media Bias Offender Tipline’ – Let’s Use It

The battle against biased media is a continuing and exhausting ordeal during the administration of Donald Trump, who frequently refers to the press in Stalinist terms as “the enemy of the people.” No American president has been more hostile toward the media, or more hospitable toward sycophantic toadies than, Donald Trump.

Last week Trump’s White House website debuted a “Media Bias” page, claiming that it would be keeping track of what Trump regards as “false, misleading, or biased” news reports. Of course, what Trump regards as “biased” is actually anything that is less than effusively flattering. As a result, the page consists solely of the very same media outlets that Trump regularly bashes as “fake news” simply because they dare to report honestly about Trump warts and…well, more warts.

This week Trump is expanding on his anti-free-press theme with the addition of a brand new “Media Bias Offender Tipline.” It was announced with a “A CALL TO ACTION” and an opportunity to “Submit ‘Media Bias’ Tips” online.

The announcement describes the mission of the page as “to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media,” and asserts that “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable.” Elaborating, the page says that…

“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.”

Notice that the only alleged lies that the page is supposedly combatting are from the “outright left-wing lunacy.” And there is no mention of the fact that it’s Trump’s rampant dishonesty that makes identifying all of the false stories impossible. Even worse, Trump is declaring that the days of “willful bias are over,” as he cheers for the government to assume the role of “controlling the narrative with lies.” Which, to be fair, is something that Trump’s regime has proven to be pretty good at.

Trump’s Media Bias Tipline page provides a short form for his MAGA cult disciples to report any left-wing lunacy that they come across so that they can “HELP EXPOSE THE WORST OF THE WORST” And it warns, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies. Fill out the form below.”

Well, that seems like pretty good advice. Perhaps we should all bookmark that form and use it to report all of the media bias that we encounter. There is plenty of it from outlets like Newsmax and One America News, and far too often from the corporate media networks as well. Of course, there’s also Fox News, which is the only “news” enterprise that has paid out 3/4 of a billion dollars to settle a defamation lawsuit for having repeatedly lied on Trump’s behalf.

So you all know what to do. And as Trump’s page says, “Don’t let them continue to spread lies.”
