Nunes declares war on the media

The California GOP congressman says his local paper is working with ‘radical left-wing groups.’

LOS ANGELES — Devin Nunes is sitting on an eye-popping pile of money he's raised in recent months, with little reason to spend it yet.

Except for one splurge: an unusually aggressive — and sustained — offensive against his local newspaper, which he is tearing into as “fake news.”

In a campaign ad running more than two minutes — and appearing not only online, but also on radio and TV — Nunes casts the dominant newspaper in his California district as a “band of creeping correspondents,” criticizing The Fresno Bee for its routine reporting practices and for its coverage of a controversy surrounding a winery in which the Republican congressman invests.

“Sadly, since the last election, The Fresno Bee has worked closely with radical left-wing groups to promote numerous fake news stories about me,” Nunes says in the ad, though he offers no evidence of collusion between The Bee and any group.

5. Mr. Mueller please hand down indictments against Nunes!

This congress critter is as dirty and corrupt as anyone in the gop cabal. He is the Orange Menace's waterboy and as much a traitor as his master.

6. Who gave him so much money?

Mines should be having as much trouble as Cruz is fundraising! I can't stand the thought of him winning anything but a jail cell.

7. I always thought the Bee was fairly conservative when I lived out there

Its definitely one of those very red pockets in Calif.
