The White House has launched a new online portal for the public to report perceived media bias. Officials introduced the "Media Bias Offender Tip Line" on Tuesday.
The tool is part of a larger "Media Bias Portal" recently created by the administration. Its stated aim is to collect examples of news coverage the White House considers misleading.
A brief statement described the effort as a way for Americans to "hold the fake news accountable." The portal allows users to submit links to articles or broadcasts, along with descriptions of alleged bias.
The administration has not detailed how it will use the submitted information. The move follows repeated criticism of major news outlets by the White House.
