President Donald Trump launched a website called the "Offender Hall of Shame" that publicly labels media outlets including The Boston Globe, CBS News, The Independent, The New York Times, and The Washington Post as so-called "media offenders of the week", with The Washington Post ranked at the top based on user input.The White House says the initiative holds journalists accountable and allows the public to submit alleged media falsehoods via a tipline, while critics led by Reporters Without Borders warn that it undermines journalistic independence.Supporters such as the
Media Research Center praise the website as a means to expose bias, though critics link it to President Trump’s ongoing efforts to intimidate journalists, restrict press access, and legally challenge
The New York Times over new Pentagon policies.
