The White House posted a video earlier today showing Santa with a "naughty list" of journalists.

A new White House webpage presents a “Hall of Shame” for news reports the president disagrees with, coming after the president has voiced personal attacks on female reporters at ABC, CBS, the New York Times and Bloomberg.

Right out of the fascist playbook:

Trump ramps up reporter attacks with White House media bias tracker

The White House launched a page on its website Friday devoted to naming and shaming media outlets and reporters that publish stories it disagrees with.

“Misleading. Biased. Exposed,” the site reads, naming the Boston Globe, CBS News and the Independent as “media offenders of the week” for allegedly misrepresenting President Donald Trump’s call for six Democratic members of Congress to be hanged for a video saying that military personnel should not follow illegal orders.

“The Democrats and Fake News Media subversively implied that President Trump had issued illegal orders to service members,” the site reads. “Every order President Trump has issued has been lawful. It is dangerous for sitting Members of Congress to incite insubordination in the United States’ military, and President Trump called for them to be held accountable.”

It also lists an “Offender Hall of Shame” that features The Washington Post, CBS News, CNN and MSNBC — the former name of the cable network MS NOW. The page shows a database of news articles from these publications and others, the names of the reporters who wrote them and categories of offenses, including “bias,” “lie” and “left wing lunacy.” A leaderboard lists The Post as the top offender. The page also includes a sign-up prompt for a newsletter promising weekly updates on the “truth.”

Here is the first naughty list


LOL, the White House press shop—because they're jackasses with less creativity than a lump of coal—posted a "Naughty" list of journalists they dislike. I'm delighted to report that my Bulwark colleague @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social made the cut.

Keep up the great work, Adrian! So proud of you.

Nothing says you are doing great journalistic work more than trump saying otherwise. And carolyin still doesn’t give a damn about her future. He’s a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and god knows what when Epstein is released. Of course he opposes the truth being told.

Miles Taylor, a former Homeland Security senior official under both the Trump and Bush administrations, likened the video to the early days of Nazi Germany and its attack on journalists deemed to be enemies of the state, and warned that when it came to Trump’s attack on the press, “more will follow.”

“The [Nazi] regime published lists of ‘un-German’ writers and journalists, accusing them of poisoning the nation’s soul. News outlets were threatened with closure and then later shut down,” Taylor wrote Friday on his Substack, Defiance News.

“Here we are. The White House is on a similar path. That’s not exaggeration or heedless historical comparison, meant to accuse Trump of being a ‘Nazi’ to score political points. The man who is our current president – and the people around him – have a stated and demonstrated desire to subvert the free press in this country.”

Trump has long railed against the media as being the “enemy of the people,” going back to his 2016 presidential bid. Only recently, however, has Trump escalated his attack on the press by suing media outlets, threatening to revoke broadcasting licenses, and stripping reporters of their White House credentials. And now, he’s directly named and shamed journalists, the first step, Taylor argued, would only escalate if not opposed.

“A president who publishes a blacklist of reporters is not making a silly Christmas ‘joke,’” Taylor wrote. “He’s testing how far he can go, preparing to crack down, and seeing how many people will smile while he does it.”
