Representative Devin Nunes (R-CA), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, joined The Trevor Carey Show recently, where he discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosis (D-CA) efforts to include non-essential measures into a bill to assist Americans during the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
One of the measures Pelosi and her party attempted to include in the bill was retirement plans for community newspaper employees. Nunes said:
If you dont think that 90 percent of the media, including many of the local media, if you dont think theyre working for the Democrats, you are fooling yourself. Why would they put that in there? They put that in there because they want these retirement plans, they want to socialize the news media.
Nunes said the Democrats efforts are a way to promote their party to stay in power, which he said is not surprising.
I really think it was a misstep, Nunes continued. What they dont understand now is that were approaching now half of America that when they see stuff in the fake news, they actually believe the opposite. They dont realize that theyre having that effect.
Nunes added:
What was maybe 25 percent of people three years ago, or before Trump was elected, just disregarded what the media said. I bet were approaching 50 percent of Americans: if the mainstream news media says something, they just think its not true and must be the opposite.
Its starting to backfire on them, not nearly fast enough, Nunes concluded. Theyre causing panic, theyre really hurting the economy, meaning the press and their Democratic allies.
