So, the White House website has a section called "media offenders". At the same time, the page contains both a general list of media outlets that the Trump administration is "exposing" for one reason or another and "violators of the week." It's worth noting that the list includes leading media outlets in the United States and Britain.
The page lists media outlets with journalists who the White House considers "misleading" and "biased" or simply "fake news." The Trump administration announced the exposure this week of the British The Independent, the American The Boston Globe and CBC News.
"The media misinterpreted President Trump's call to prosecute members of Congress for sedition by saying he called for their 'execution,'" the White House said in a statement.
It should be noted that in the publication The Independent quotes the US president's message on the social network Truth Social: "The president later posted a third message in which he repeated his all-caps accusation of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR” from the lawmakers before claiming that such “behavior” is “punishable by DEATH.”

Before that, Trump lashed out at The Wall Street Journal, accusing it and other media outlets of complicating the Ukraine deal.
