The White House Now Has Its Own News Website—And People Are Calling It Out For What It Is

The "White House Wire" features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News—and critics aren't impressed.

Critics called out the Trump administration for running its own propaganda network after the White House publicized "White House Wire," its own news website that features news articles from conservative news outlets like the Daily Caller and Fox News.

The White House Wire (WHWIRE) primarily features positive coverage of the president and administration, with stories mainly sourced from conservative outlets and contributions from government staffers. One early headline, "100 Days Of Hoaxes: Cutting Through The Fake News," was notable but did not include a direct link to a story.


The website resembles the Drudge Report, a well-known political site that functions as a bulletin board for links. While the Drudge Report was initially a conservative-friendly platform, famous for breaking the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal in the 1990s, it has become critical of Trump in recent years.

Nonetheless, the administration bragged that the White House "has its own wire now" in a post via its official X account.

When questioned about the website, a White House official explained that there's a method behind the administration's madness:

“It’s a place for supporters of the president’s agenda to get the real news all in one place in a shareable and readable format. The website will be a one-stop shop for news and is part of the Trump administration’s effort to provide transparency and institute policies that put America first.”

But others have called out the White House for launching what they say amounts to little more than a propaganda arm.


The development follows a press briefing held by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who addressed what she referred to as the “new media,” stating that she was honoring a commitment made at the start of the Trump administration to engage with “all media outlets.”

However, as she acknowledged at the beginning of Monday’s briefing—which she referred to as the "influencer briefing"—these sessions largely serve to allow softball questions and applause lines from MAGA loyalists eager to play reporter in the White House.

True to her approach with the “new media” seat in standard White House briefings, which has been filled predominantly by right-wing figures, Leavitt filled the influencer room with Trump-friendly provocateurs and YouTubers.

JD Vance Gets Perfectly Shamed After Claiming Medicaid Cuts In Budget Bill Are 'Immaterial'

Critics slammed Vice President JD Vance after he claimed that the "minutiae of the Medicaid policy" in President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," are "immaterial" to the millions of Americans who would lose their healthcare coverage if it were to become law.

According to The Washington Post, the bill "includes the biggest reduction of funding for the federal safety net since at least the 1990s, targeting more than $1 trillion in social spending." WaPo noted that the $3 trillion package "partially pays for its large price tag by slashing spending on Medicaid and food stamps SNAP), which congressional Republicans maintain are rife with fraud."
