The official Trump White House line is that WHWire is not propaganda. “A White House official said the site serves a key strategic purpose: To give pro-Trump influencers a central hub to disseminate Trump-favorable coverage,” Axios co-founder Mike Allen wrote in his morning newsletter.
And please explain to me this is not exactly propaganda?
I sent a message to Trump after he first called Zelenskyy a dictator, and before the Oval Office fiasco. They obviously either didn’t read it or could care less as it got me on the mailing list. I have been amazed! Once a week at least I get a sparkling newsletter listing all the ‘achievements’ for that week, along with videos from Leavitt, or of the current White House press briefing. One especially creepy one where Stephen Miller showed up to ‘answer questions’, but mostly mirrored Joseph Goebbels while he ranted about the usual things. It was an astounding and edifying glimpse under the tent flap. If I didn’t know better I would’ve thought this was the greatest president ever. They even made it seem like he was only a text away. Like I could send ‘my president’ a question or concern at any time. He’s there for me! I thought what if the Democrats did this? What if Joe Biden had done this? He could have listed real achievements! Those things that apparently a big part of this country was unaware of. Although what actual President doing the job required would have the time to text? Trump has because ‘he has people’ to do the presidential work. It’s amazing how often his answer is “I don’t know”. As Terry Moran said “you are the president!“ But lawyers do his thinking for him and they apparently decide who gets due process and who doesn’t while he texts pictures of himself as the next pope. This WHWire is just the latest in their incredible propaganda machine.
Keep us posted on the content they're throwing at you. We need to be aware of this - You're a better citizen than I am, I couldn't deal with it after the first missive!!

Funny, they say it's not propaganda and then give an example of what is pure propaganda. Cognitive dissonance...
The only reason for WHWire existence is no one else is going to give p47 the “Pat-on-the-back, Atta boy!” coverage he so desperately seeks. Even MAGA Malfoy would have trouble maintaining the level of “positive” news about the "self-inflicted economic arson*” to our economy that p47’s tariffs are having on small and big businesses alike. GM alone announced $4-5 billion in losses due to the tariffs this year with an additional $4,000+ cost to any new vehicle it produces.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg disaster which is upon all of us, regardless of your political affiliation.
To sum up WHWire, look no further than Groucho Marx's "Who you gonna believe, me or your lying eyes?”
And our tax payer dollars are paying for this. 😭. However, a while back when I had a Republican Congressional Representative I was appalled how he used his constituent mailings (all paid for by the federal government) as his own ultra-biased mouth pieces. I felt that the content was handed to him by the RNC. The good news is that the guy was voted out. What's troubling here is not how Trump has debased the office of the POTUS. We all knew this & quite frankly are aware that his crassness knows no bottom. But how the incessant bombarbment of lies has brainwashed so many Americans! They now believe the lies! For the past nearly 40 years, first Rush Limbaugh & then when Fox News arrived there's been a CONSTANT drumbeat out there telling Americans "you can't trust the mainstream/legacy media." Yes, I did cancel my subscription to the WaPo because of Jeff Bezo's inability to allow the WaPo to maintain its well earned reputation for the best news reporting out there. But I still subscribe to The NY Times, the WSJ, the Buffalo News (my home town) Crain's New York and most likely other publications that don't come to mind in this moment. But the drumbeat from the Right has been "you can't believe 'facts.' Facts are subjective." And now the MAGA leaders say, "Don't believe what your eyes see.👀 Believe what we tell 🫵🏼 you." As Hannah Arendt warned us: this is a very dangerous moment in any society.
I've read a lot of blather about how the Dems lost the election and what they need to do to recover, but not one of those commentators understands that it's all about fighting disinformation with more disinformation in a way that resonates with people who follow Fox News and b.s. like WHWire. Trump has weaponized the government against the citizenry, and it's going to take serious effort by a lot of people to recover our democracy.
Rather than sub-come to the WH wire or legacy media double speak the felon and his maggot buddies DONOT “stretch the truth” they LIE! Why on earth is so hard to say 47 Lies, the WH wire lies, Steven Miller lies — they LIE! Not propaganda, not tell fibs, not paint the picture through a lens—-THEY LIE.

Shame! Shame! Shame! They have no shame!

I know. It’s not good for our digestion or mental health.

Very scary. How can actual thinking people rebut or remove this imaginary universe?

It’ll be a new source for pentagon security leaks.

I hope you give us the news so I don't have to read the WHWIRE!

The rule used to be garbage in, garbage out. Magaloids have overcome that. Now, no matter what goes in, garbage comes out. And they even recycle it.

Nobody even his vanity outlet could make that glass bowl look good! ( thanks Carolyn Hax for the glass bowl expression)
