Nunes Creates His Own News Site

https://politicalwire.com/2018/02/11/nunes-creates-news-site/

"SNIP........
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA) “has found a way around the often unflattering coverage of his role in the Trump-Russia investigation — by operating his own partisan news outlet,” Politico reports.

Resembling a local, conservative news site, The California Republican is classified on Facebook as a “media/news company” and claims to deliver “the best of US, California, and Central Valley news, sports, and analysis.”

“The California Republican,” the name of the site, posted on its Facebook page that those trying to reach the site may encounter an error message.

As of late Sunday afternoon, the link to the site’s home page redirects back to the outlet’s Facebook page, and links to articles redirect to a broken Facebook link.

Politico reported earlier Sunday that the Nunes campaign has paid nearly $8,000 to a Fresno-area communications consultant since last July for the site. "The California Republican" is listed as a "Media/News" Company."

has that ever been done before, I wonder....

I read earlier that Nunes was keeping his involvement a secret. But, now that we now where it is, I guess we can visit it a LOT.
