Thursday, May 01, 2025

The White House has launched a new Drudge Report-like website devoted to promoting pro-Trump news stories.

Key Trump administration officials appeared on Fox networks over 500 times in his first 100 days in office. "Border czar" Thomas Homan led all officials with at least 59 appearances while Sean Hannity led all shows with 71 interviews. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/key ...

Wow.

I just visited that site, and read some of the links.

Interesting site.

But I have to ask ...

Why does the White House seem to find a need for a site like that, instead of just issuing press releases on the whitehouse.gov site?

The best way to get a job in the Admin is to have werked for Fox... or WWE.

This is Propaganda pretending to be News, and Joseph Goebbels is SO proud today!

"News" is these days mostly either corporate advertising and or political propaganda, thanks to the profit motive being more important than the People's ability to know what their Gov is doing.

Funny I was thinking the same thing.

The Drudge Report and the Drudge Retort basically have the same bias.

WhiteHouse.gov is a brillant idea.

High time for something like that from our government.

Looking forward to see what sort of articles it carries.

@#7 ... WhiteHouse.gov is a brilliant idea. ...

Oh, that has been around for a long time.

To the point that my DVR player pings it to determine whether or not it has Internet access.

The Drudge Report is still conservative and links to tabloid rags like Daily Mail and The Sun. Not left leaning. They call out BS on the right when they see it, though, and they don't suck Trump's -------. Therefore, exactly the same as Drudge Retort, amirite /s

Because the rest of the media has been infiltrated by liberals.

Why do CONservatives view any media that attempts to report factual perspective as liberal? Oh yeah... because facts and fascism have a difficult time coexisting.

Yup it's funny. When this site first came on Drudge was a right leaning site then it was sold to a Liberal. So "Drudge Retort" doesn't really work anymore.

Maybe because liberal sites are proven wrong over and over. Why don't you do what conservatives here do and open your mind and go to right leaning and left leaning sites and make decisions that way. Liberals are always yelling that Fox news is wrong about everything but when you ask them if they watch it they say they wouldn't be caught dead watching it. They believe what they see on the View or Morning Joe.

Fox had to cough up $787 million for repeating the-------------'s election lies.

Only occasionally.... mostly they are proven factually correct compared to the outright lies spewed by the Lyin' King and his Trump Media clowns.

But hey, I'm sure you must have PROOF of your claim... so let's see it.
