Attorney General William Barr during a Friday interview with the conservative website Townhall.com excoriated the mainstream media, saying that many seek to accomplish partisan political aims rather than report the truth.
"They're basically a collection of liars," Barr said according to Townhall. "Most of the mainstream media. They're a collection of liars and they know exactly what they're doing. A perfect example of that were the riots."
"Right on the street it was clear as day what was going on, anyone observing it, reporters observing it, it could not have escaped their attention that this was orchestrated violence by a hardened group of street fighting radicals and they kept on excluding from their coverage all the video of this and reporting otherwise and they were doing that for partisan reasons, and they were lying to the American people," he said. "It wasn't until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid."
Barr during his scathing rebuke accused media members of practicing political partisanship. Their behavior is "destructive to our Republic," he said.
"The press has dropped, in my view - and I'm talking about the national mainstream media - has dropped any pretense of professional objectivity and are political actors, highly partisan who try to shape what they're reporting to achieve a political purpose and support a political narrative that has nothing to do with the truth," he said. "They're very mendacious about it. It's very destructive to our Republic; it's very destructive to the Democratic system to have that, especially being so monolithic. It's contributing to a lot of the intensity and partisanship."

“It wasn’t until they were caught red-handed after essentially weeks of this lie that they even started feeling less timid.”
Not even that. Fake News only pivoted when their masters at the Democrat Party did.
They need to be sued and held liable. Charge them with inciting riots and have them pay.

I wonder if these leftist liars think they’ll actually get through what’s coming unscathed.
Something is coming. Either it is Justice, or it’s street justice. Take your pick.
CW2 isn’t near, it’s here.
Well yeah.
Barr knows this and it should have been stopped and litigated long ago.
Another f*cking stern memo.
Frog march their asses across the TV screen 24/7.
I’d like to see it.
He should know.
Fake News only pivoted when their masters at the Democrat Party did.
I respectfully think you have it reversed. The media is the real power of the DNC. They pivoted (see the Cuomo/Lemon panic fest video) when the media looked at the poll numbers and realized how disastrous it was for Biden and democrats running for congress.
The media is driving the train. It is ironic that the DNC seems to have very little say in what they are doing and no control or influence on Biden. Biden is cloistered away with a radical inner circle of advisors.
The media is playing the tune for the democrats and they are the true opponent of Trump - not Biden.
It cracks me up every time I see that picture of Barr playing the bagpipes.
In fairness as a followup, I think Schumer was the first democrat to see it and come out and signal a reversal of course on the shut-downs (including schools) and the chaos, but the rank and file of the democrats did not attempt a 180 until Don Lemon talked about how bad this was for them.
The irony is that they (democrats) still cannot bring themselves to criticize BLM in any way so their “condemnation” is half-hearted at best and obvious to any observer.
I am convinced that the MSM elite are the real power behind the DNC. They are fully on board and clearly trying to shape the narrative with marching orders the rest of them parrot.
Here’s the article JTN took it from
Gee, I didn’t know that the job of AG was to give commentary on the media.
I thought he was supposed to be investigating and prosecuting FEDERAL criminals.
Hmmm...my mistake..
What he said was true.
The media is a collection of Marxists seditionists and has already committed treason and must be handled as such.
