White House pretends it's a news outlet with new propaganda site
The White House has launched a new government website called the “White House Wire,” which seems to pretty much just be a rip-off of the famously conservative Drudge Report.
But instead of Drudge’s flashing red light, the White House site features a running ticker that repeats “WHWIRE” over and over … and over again.
Drudge, once an ally but now a critic of Trump, responded by calling out the waste of taxpayer dollars.
“IT TAKES AN ENTIRE WEST WING TO COMPETE WITH DRUDGE…DEVELOPING: TRUMP LAUNCHING HIS OWN DRUDGE REPORT… USING TAXPAYER DOLLARS!” it wrote.
