It’s 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, and his administration has continued to move at “Trump speed.”
The president has signed a record-breaking 142 executive orders, taking actions such as ending the “catch and release” policy on illegal immigration, declaring a national energy emergency, cutting DEI-related funding and policies, and downsizing the federal bureaucracy, among others.
He also signed into law the Laken Riley Act against illegal alien crime and oversaw the deportation of more than 139,000 illegal immigrants to secure the southern border.
But, predictably, the corporate media have spent the 100 days making the story about themselves.
On Tuesday afternoon, the White House sent out an article titled “100 DAYS OF HOAXES: Cutting Through the Fake News” that mocked the corporate media’s main-character syndrome. The release lists more than 50 of the most hilarious and deceptive media hoaxes.
Unsurprisingly, the first hoax mentioned was a story from CNN.
When CNN attempted to “fact-check” Trump’s joint address to Congress on March 4, it initially rated the president’s claim that the Biden administration spent millions of taxpayer dollars on “making mice transgender” false.
The White House, however, brought the receipts on March 5. An article on the White House website titled, “Yes, Biden Spent Millions on Transgender Animal Experiments,” listed and linked to the government-funded experiments.
The Biden administration gave $455,000 to a study, “A Mouse Model to Test the Effects of Gender-affirming Hormone Therapy on HIV Vaccine-induced Immune Responses”; $2,500,000 to “Reproductive Consequences of Steroid Hormone Administration” on mice; and $3,100,000 to a study that looked into “gonadal hormones as mediators of sex and gender influences in asthma” in mice.
In total, the Biden administration wasted $8 million of taxpayers’ hard-earned money on these experiments.
CNN was forced to update its story to say the claim is not false, but “needs context”:
An earlier version of this item incorrectly characterized as false Trump’s claim about federal money being spent for ‘making mice transgender.’ The article has been updated with context about the spending, which was for research studies on the potential human health impacts of treatments used in gender-affirming care.
Another one of the media hoaxes listed by the White House was a story from The Associated Press that claimed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin “very good friends.”
The story, initially titled “Gabbard Says Trump And Putin Are ‘Very Good Friends,’ Focused On Strengthening Ties,” was pulled down, before the AP published it with the following correction:
This story was updated on March 17, 2025, to delete erroneous reporting that U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘are very good friends.’ Gabbard was talking about Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
When the Daily Caller News Foundation asked for comment, a spokesperson for the AP said the story was pulled because “it did not meet [its] standards.”
The ordeal enraged Alexa Henning, a DNI spokesperson, who accused the media of malicious incompetence.
Olivia Coleman, Gabbard’s press secretary, posted on X that she attempted to contact the AP about the story before the correction was made, but “have so far heard nothing regarding their literal fake news article about the DNI.”
Media hoaxers have come for Vice President JD Vance as well. An April 22 post on X from The Daily Beast claimed Vance “broke one of the most notorious Vatican rules during his Easter weekend visit” with Pope Francis the day before the pope’s passing.
The story, titled “JD Vance Ripped for Embarrassing Gaffe During Vatican Visit,” alleged Vance broke the rule that “visitors are ‘forbidden’ from taking photographs in the chapel.” The Daily Beast buried a crucial detail in paragraph 14: “A source close to the situation told the Daily Beast that the Vatican gave special permission for the photographer in question to take pictures inside the Sistine Chapel.”
At a pace of at least two hoaxes a day during Trump’s first 100 days, the media are on track to push nearly 3,000 false narratives by the time he leaves office in January 2029.

This is more than faking news. Far more and far worse. This is an attempt to sabotage the President of the United States and prevent him from doing the job he was elected to do.
This is treason. Heads should roll. Literally.
The “Big Media” [Democratic Party affiliates ] still haven’t learned that intelligent people do not trust anything they report anymore. Perhaps they should get jobs writing for comedy shows. Keep writing your nonsense and you will continue to lose watchers and readers
Unfortunately, the idiots that believe the crap that is originally put out there so much they never look into what is true or not and they never look for updates on retracted false info. Once it’s said, the leftist idiots believe it.
If ANY leftwing media outlet prints a story about Trump, IT’S A LIE. If ANY leftwing media outlet broadcasts a story about Trump, IT’S A LIE.
This is why they CANNOT BE TRUSTED, and why their credibility is at an all time low. Americans have finally discovered just how corrupt, despicable, moral-less, and truly evil the media and Democrats have become.
The level of lying in this country is ridiculous. What I do not understand is why do these people, especially the media get away with it? Is there some sort of law out there that prevents people from suing someone because false information was put out there? And now people in the government lie all the time UNDER OATH yet they are not charged with “lying under oath”. I am old and I remember when you could NOT get away with telling flat-out lies. If telling the TRUTH were to make a comeback, many of our biggest problems would be solved.
What ever happen to real news like ‘Chet Huntley n David Brinkley’ and Walter Cronkite’ real news, now the media is control by George Soros, they want to destroy the United States,when is this anti US medís going to be stop lying
It certainly appears to me that our ‘fourth estate’ has gone down in honesty just since the Trump 45′ time. They are declining so rapidly that many of them may be completely gone by the end of the Trump Presidency. Good riddance! Just maybe this will reset the journalism industry to the EXACT middle of the spectrum where it’s supposed to be!
Pathetic little mouse suffering from lion syndrome thinking it roars when really very few are listening to it’s predictable blather.
Funny how CNN etc. only invokes the word “Context” after yet another of their narratives are debunked. If they looked at the context beforehand they’d have to scrap their fake news stories and say something nice about what Trump has done. And as we all know, they Can’t Have That under any circumstances!
The media that tells lies should be fined big money for every proven lie. I understand free speech; however it is a sin to lie. Just stop already.
How do you know the Legacy Media are lying? They’re reporting something.
It’s been quite depressing during Biden years! Now there seems be light at end of tunnel, hopefully we move forward !
Oops, you missed one. In April 2025, FOX News had to update an article that suggested Arizona had 50,000 noncitizens on its voting rolls. An editor’s note appears at the bottom of the page saying, “This story has been updated to reflect that the AZ voters on the rolls under examination did not prove their citizenship at the time of registration.”
Gotta love it!
Malicious libel. They should be at least prosecuted for some of these outright lies. Don’t even bring up integrity! Fake news isn’t a new tactic, but it sure is getting very old!
Today’s media couldn’t even pass a high school journalism class. They are pathetic. They’re no longer trying to hide the fact they’re just left wing liberal Democrats. They don’t realize how much people laugh at them everyday. Maybe one of these days someone will go out and get a real job, but they’ll have to clean all the crap off their nose first. Brown nosing has got you nowhere
The left lies, that’s what they do, lie. They have to lie as the entire platform of the left is built on a lie.
WE already know the main stream media lies. It’s their stock in trade. So why keep telling us what we already know? Granted it’s nice to see some stats and proofs,but it’s not worth all the time and effort used to tell us what is basically common knowledge across the board. Oh well, I guess a lot of other people just don’t have anything else to do. sigh…
The term “yellow journalism” describes the entire legacy media currently. They are digging themselves a hole so deep they may never be able to climb out. That wouldn’t be so bad, would it?!
This need to be shared all over.
The White House should publish a weekly journal of fake news!
We have to understand. The “media” and the Marxist/democrats are having a hard time addressing the truth. They are just not used to not having it their way. They could turn around. Nahhhh! I am enjoying watching them constantly back peddling.
Democrats are criminals and liars. No mystery there.
Imo
Say, do we have any listing of AMAC, Fox or Newsmax offering up questionable stories, even lies? Can anyone claim perfection in the media? So, lets be “fair and balanced” and tell about ALL the sins of ALL the media…even our beloved AMAC.
