White House hall of shame targets news outlets

President Donald Trump's White House has established a hall of shame for journalists it finds guilty of media bias as it looks for new avenues of attack against legacy news outlets. And it's calling on “everyday Americans” to participate with their own examples of where they consider journalists to be unfair. The Republican president has been criticizing “fake news” since his first term. Some of Trump's attacks have turned personal in the past month. Yet despite it all, the news outlet Axios pointed out this week that mainstream news sources are as dominant as ever in setting the agenda for Washington and — somewhat ironically — capturing the president's attention.

The new #policy on "anti-Americanism" comes days after the #Trump admin tightened standards for #naturalization, moving away from a standard where the required "good moral character" is shown by an absence of disqualifying offenses to a rule where applicants must prove they are "worthy" of #citizenship.

#MahmoudKhalil has previously disputed the notion that he omitted information on his application.

In a filing last week, he maintained he was never employed by or served as an “officer” of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, as the admin claims, but completed an internship approved by the #university as part of his graduate studies.
