As it trends.

The Trump administration has unveiled White House Wire, a state-run news site that critics argue is propaganda funded by taxpayers.

The platform curates pro-Trump stories while excluding mainstream media perspectives, raising concerns over government-controlled messaging.

The move has sparked backlash, with Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge threatening a $1 trillion lawsuit, alleging the site mimics his platform.

Critics claim that using public funds to run a government-backed media outlet raises ethical concerns about transparency and press freedom.

Trump has also made repeated attempts to defund NPR and PBS, organizations that receive government funding but operate independently.

While courts have blocked his efforts, the creation of White House Wire suggests a shift toward centralized messaging.

As legal challenges loom, debates intensify over whether this move represents a troubling step toward state-controlled media in the U.S.
