The White House has introduced a Media Bias Portal, aiming to promote transparency and accuracy in news reporting. The portal allows members of the public to submit examples of what they consider biased or false media articles through whitehouse.gov/biastips.
According to the announcement, the purpose of the initiative is to address misinformation and provide a platform for citizens to report concerns about media coverage. The White House stated, "Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies, purposely omitted context, and outright left-wing lunacy of the Fake News Media — a tall task that demands the help of everyone who believes in facts and accuracy over Fake News."
The administration is encouraging public participation in maintaining the portal's content. "That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the Fake News accountable. By visiting whitehouse.gov/biastips, anyone can submit biased or undeniably false articles, and valid submissions will be used to keep the Media Bias Portal updated," reads part of the statement.
The announcement also commented on challenges faced in monitoring news content: "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."
In its call for public involvement, The White House added: "If the legacy media won’t honor their responsibility to accurately inform the public, we know the American people will."
