Trump White House Launches 'White House Wire' Hub

The Trump administration launched 'White House Wire,' a Drudge Report-style news hub designed to promote pro-Trump stories and mark the administration’s first 100 days. The site aggregates favorable coverage from outlets like Fox News, Breitbart, and the Washington Times, and spotlights the administration’s achievements. Its debut is viewed as an escalation in the White House’s efforts to bypass traditional media and restrict access for mainstream outlets. Matt Drudge, founder of the original Drudge Report, criticized the initiative, mocked its use of taxpayer money, and threatened legal action over its resemblance to his site. White House officials describe the hub as a 'one-stop shop' for supporters seeking 'real news' and say it advances transparency and an America-first agenda. The launch has prompted independent newsrooms to underscore the need for fact-based journalism amid government-led messaging.
