Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Report: Trump Receives Daily Folder with Positive News Stories—About Himself

HeadlineAug 09, 2017

Vice News is reporting that President Trump receives a 20-page propaganda folder twice a day filled with positive news—about himself. Three current and former White House officials who spoke with Vice News said the folder includes positive tweets, fawning news stories and sometimes even just photos of Trump looking good on television. According to the article, the propaganda file had been delivered personally by former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus or former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Spicer has disputed the article, although he refused to say which parts are inaccurate.
