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."

Most of DC is a pack of liars; traitors.
When the media collaborates with the rats and effectively become enemies of the state it is appropriate for The Nation’s AG to comment on it.
Nero comes to mind.
Portland TV news is fake news and propaganda. It didn’t just start yesterday either.
Hi.
The Bard once suggested that we kill all the baristers.
May I suggest that we kill all the CEOs of the corrupt corporate media?
Open for discussion.
5.56mm
I vote yes.
Love that guy.
Another load of misguided Freepers who dont know who their true friends are. Didnt any of you watch him on Mark Levine? He explicitly stated that he MUST follow the rule of law, for cryin out loud.
Commies kill their useful idiots first...they know if they can fool these 'activists' the next bunch can too...AND that their former useful idiots won't be too happy being exposed as fools and traitors... AND not having a place in 'the new order'...
Woodward and Bernstein will NOT be happy campers... Same with the fools on Morning Joe.
There you go.
Yes.
Is it just me, or does it feel like the dam is finally about to break, on all the corruption???
I keep hoping something big is about to happen, but he is discrete about it.
Lying to the American people should carry the same penalty as lying to Congress. After all, Congress is nothing more than an extension and concentration of the American people.
The sheriff is near!
for a few nights, after the first couple of nights, the news showed Antifa teams operating essentially in uniforms, with various squad types like the female teen interventionists which stuck together and threw themselves between thugs and the police trying to arrest them, and pushing said thugs out of the grasp of officers; or the laser and umbrella squads shielding the fireworks, rocks, and explosive throwers. You’d occasionally get glimpses of the logistics guys handing things out to throw, often to black teens.
Great, some more big time tough guy talk. Meantime, people we KNOW broke the law (McCabe, for example, admitted it) are walking free and have been told they need not worry. His talk is not important, his actions are. His actions have been ... worse than nothing.
Never mind them Fatso. When are you going to get off your ass and do something?
