White House Introduces Media Bias Portal Invites American citizens to participate in submitting incidents of misinformation

The White House in early December launched a website specifically designed to include everyday Americans in the “overwhelming” task of watchdogging a corrupt media. In a press release received by On Wisconsin Outdoors, the White House introduced the Media Bias Portal (www.whitehouse.gov/biastips.com) as a “service to truth and transparency” and invited all citizens to directly participate in submitting incidents of media misinformation.

The purpose of the website is to combat baseless lies and purposely omitted content of the media, “a tall task”, according to the White House communication, that demands the help of everyone who believes in facts and accuracy. “That’s why the White House is calling on everyday Americans to support the truth and hold the fake news accountable. By visiting www.whitehouse.gov/biastips.com anyone can submit biased or undeniably false articles, and valid submissions will be used to keep the Media Bias Portal updated.

“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 release concludes. “The days of the Fake News Media controlling the narrative with lies, fake anonymous sources, and willful bias are over. If the legacy media won’t honor their responsibility to accurately inform the public, we know the American people will.”

At a live press conference December 2^nd, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reinforced the message and said that daily media corruption is overwhelming to the point that it’s “difficult to keep up with it all.” “It goes to our promise on day one to hold the media accountable,” she said.

Author opinion: Intentional media bias can range from a selected photo or wording in a headline, to omission of content, to orchestrated campaigns of deceit like ‘Russian collusion’ lasting years and targeting the disengaged citizens who rely on media for facts. Learning to critically think when interpreting ‘news’ is critical to the survival of our Constitutional Republic.
