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

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 Trumps 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 shopâbecause they're jackasses with less creativity than a lump of coalâposted a "Naughty" list of journalists they dislike. I'm delighted to report that my Bulwark colleague @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social made the cut.

'More will follow': Ex-Trump official gives grim warning about new 'Nazi'-like 'blacklist'

The [Nazi] regime published lists of un-German writers and journalists, accusing them of poisoning the nations 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. Thats 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, hes 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. Hes testing how far he can go, preparing to crack down, and seeing how many people will smile while he does it.
