Trump's formalization of his war on the press through a government website is an authoritarian attack on press freedom that escalates beyond rhetoric into official intimidation. The tracker arrives alongside Trump's degrading treatment of female reporters and his dangerous posts calling seditious behavior punishable by death, revealing a coordinated effort to silence accountability journalism. Major outlets across the political spectrum land on the list while Fox News remains conspicuously absent, exposing this as partisan retaliation.
The Media Bias Tracker finally holds dishonest outlets accountable for years of false reporting and attacks on Trump and his agenda. Major publications deliberately misrepresented Trump's call for accountability against Democrats who dangerously urged military insubordination, falsely claiming he called for executions when he simply demanded consequences for seditious behavior. This transparency tool exposes the race to the bottom among legacy media outlets that have abandoned journalistic standards to push partisan narratives.

The Trump administration's "media bias" microsite creates a mutually beneficial dynamic. By spotlighting press missteps, the White House targets a familiar adversary, while journalists use the criticism as a badge of honor. After years of some outlets easing their scrutiny of power, they now reclaim an adversarial stance. Meanwhile, the administration maintains generous press access, using it to highlight what it portrays as increasingly visible bias while reinforcing its own narrative of media hostility.
There's a 61% chance the U.S. will remain a liberal democracy through 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
