Devin Nunes is a special blend of moron and supervillain. He’s clearly divorced from reality, but his power in Congress means that he has far too much sway on our government and national discourse. After peddling his bullshit memo, he’s taking the misinformation campaign to the next level by launching his own “news site.”
Politico reports:
The website is paid for by Nunes’ campaign committee, according to small print at the bottom of the site. Leading the home page most recently: a photograph of Nunes over the headline, “Understanding the process behind #ReleaseTheMemo.”
The story, like many others on carepublican.com, largely excerpts other publications, including both conservative and mainstream sources. Headlines include “CNN busted for peddling fake news AGAIN!,” “California’s budget future isn’t as good as it looks” and “Billions of dollars later, Democrats and the LA Times start to see the light on high-speed rail.”
In a jab at fellow California Rep. Ted Lieu — an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump — the site titled one blurb, “Dem CA Rep roasted on CNN, proceeds to make a fool of himself.”
The outlet includes stories dating from mid-2017, when it was registered by a Fresno-area communications consultant, Alex Tavlian. Nunes’ campaign has paid Tavlian’s company, Sultana Media, $7,773 since July for “advertising; digital advertising management.”
This corrupt madman needs to be stopped. We just work extra hard to spread the truth, and also support the candidate working to take him out: Andrew Janz.
