Trump White House Makes Move to Bypass Legacy Media, Counter False Narratives [WATCH]

In a move to amplify pro-administration coverage and bypass what officials describe as the mainstream media’s entrenched bias, the White House has officially launched a new media platform called White House Wire.

The site, styled after the Drudge Report, will serve as a central hub for pro-Trump stories and direct messaging from the administration.

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump enters his second term and marks just over 100 days in office.

🇺🇸The White House has its own wire now.

According to a senior White House official, White House Wire is designed to give supporters of the president’s agenda direct access to accurate and favorable news stories.

“To give pro-Trump influencers a central hub to disseminate Trump-favorable coverage,” the official said.

“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.”

On Tuesday, April 29, the site featured a variety of headlines and links pulled from conservative and mainstream outlets.

Among the top stories was a Fox News piece titled, “THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FIRST 100 DAYS IN PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY.”

Another headline, “Border shutdown tops list of Trump’s successes at 100 days,” linked to a report in The Washington Times.

A third link connected to an op-ed in Newsweek by Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS), titled, “The President’s First 100 Days Is a Return to American Greatness.”

The homepage also included a link to President Trump’s interview with ABC News, and a 24-hour news ticker labeled “24/7 FORTY-SEVEN” scrolled across the top of the page.

The launch of White House Wire is just one of several changes under Trump’s second-term communications strategy, which has included a restructuring of the White House Briefing Room.

For decades, permanent seating in the room was governed by the White House Correspondents’ Association, dominated by legacy outlets.

That structure has now been altered, with the administration granting access to independent media, podcasters, and new digital journalists — many of whom are now prioritized during briefings.

The White House’s approach follows a longstanding pattern of skepticism toward the traditional press.

Coverage of Trump’s political career has often been adversarial.

In August 2016, New York Times media columnist Jim Rutenberg wrote that reporters were “obligated” to cover Trump “differently” due to what he described as unprecedented circumstances.

Trump officials frequently cite that commentary as a turning point in media objectivity.

A study from the Media Research Center further illustrates the perceived imbalance.

During Trump’s previous term, analysis showed 92 percent of news reports about him from ABC, CBS, and NBC were negative.

By comparison, President Joe Biden received 59 percent positive coverage during the opening months of his term in 2021.

The White House is positioning the site not only as a communications tool but also as a form of direct engagement with voters.

In bypassing traditional media outlets, officials say they are offering the public an unfiltered window into the administration’s priorities and accomplishments.

White House Wire is expected to remain active throughout the Trump administration’s second term.

Access to the site is now available to the public.
