By Tommy Christopher - October 4, 2018
The desperate congressman sent a 40-page mailer to attack the Sacramento Bee. The paper has endorsed him eight times.
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) took a page from the Trump playbook by sending a glossy 40-page mailer to voters that was entirely devoted to attacking the free press in his hometown.
Released last week, the mailer, fashioned to look like a magazine, attacks the Fresno Bee as a propaganda machine, and takes issue with the paper for such offenses as reporting on activists protesting at Nunes office, writing stories about the winery that Nunes co-owns and uses to pass himself off as a farmer, and other examples of basic journalism.
The mailer also attacks the paper for covering a strange incident in which Nunes uncle called law enforcement on a video crew shooting an ad for Nunes challenger Andrew Janz, even though the Janz campaign had written permission to be there.
This isnt the first time Nunes has gone after the Bee. Earlier this year, he had a meltdown when a Bee reporter asked him if he planned to hold any open forums in the district, which he has not done since 2010.
