The White Home has launched a new authorities web site known as the “White House Wire,” which appears to just about simply be a rip-off of the famously conservative Drudge Report.
However as a substitute of Drudge’s flashing purple gentle, the White Home website contains a working ticker that repeats “WHWIRE” again and again … and over once more.
Drudge, as soon as an ally however now a critic of Trump, responded by calling out the waste of taxpayer {dollars}.
“IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE…DEVELOPING: TRUMP LAUNCHING HIS OWN DRUDGE REPORT… USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!” it wrote.
The White Home Wire aggregates information from Trump administration press releases, Proper Facet Broadcasting Community, The Each day Caller, and Fox Information, with headlines centered on Trump’s supposed successes and the occasional story alleging that undocumented immigrants are murdering Individuals.
On Tuesday evening, the featured headline was from a Fox Information article, titled “THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FIRST 100 DAYS IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY.”
Shockingly, the White Home Wire’s Thursday tales excluded any point out of the Division of Labor’s report displaying that joblessness elevated final week, nor was there any protection of prime Trump official Mike Waltz getting axed for his function within the Signalgate scandal.
That is simply the newest instance of the Trump administration remodeling authorities sources into propaganda. Final month, the White Home turned its official COVID-19 web site right into a conspiracy concept touchdown web page, selling a revisionist historical past of Trump’s lethal mishandling of the pandemic.
In the meantime, the White Home briefing room has been was a MAGA home of mirrors, stocked with each right-wing nitwit keen to softball inquiries to press secretary and front-facing lie machine Karolyn Leavitt.
Trump has additionally put in failed election conspiracy theorist Kari Lake to dismantle Voice of America, a U.S.-funded worldwide media community based in 1942. In March, greater than 900 full-time workers have been placed on indefinite depart and 550 contractors have been let go—and a number of other are actually suing Lake and the Trump administration for violating their First Modification rights.
Clearly, Trump—and the Republican Get together at massive—has discovered that flooding the general public with lies is an efficient technique to cowl up how little he’s really engaging in.
