Donald Trump's 'Fake News' Tracker Fails Beautifully In Real-Time

On Friday, President Donald Trump's administration unveiled a new platform purporting to reveal "media bias." However, within hours, it faced its own dilemmas, taking the site offline to address errors that contradicted its main objective. Initially promoted via official channels as a means to challenge "fake news," the site launched with tenuous allegations aimed at discrediting mainstream media, including a catalog of supposed "fake news offenses." The rollout faltered almost instantly, as a broken link replaced the page after Fox News requested rectifications concerning an erroneous attribution of an offense to one of its reporters. By the end of the day, while the site re-emerged, the damage was evident: the focus on media errors inadvertently spotlighted the administration’s own missteps. As the tracker stabilized, it revisited entries detailing ongoing tensions between the White House and various news outlets, with assertions regarding perceived misreporting continually escalating the narrative against critical press coverage.
