Constituents in Congressman Devin Nunes' district may find a curious campaign mailer on their doorsteps or in their mailboxes this week.
That mailer isn't attacking his opponent in the November election or promoting the eight-term congressman's accomplishments, though.
The glossy 38-page, full-color magazine titled "The Fresno Bees: The dirty little secrets of the Valley's propaganda machine" contains criticisms of the McClatchy-owned newspaper's coverage of Nunes.
The first sign the mailer isn't your normal political advertisement: Its cover depicts a cartoonish sinking ship full of Kool-Aid-swilling bees the sea littered with "Resist," "Socialism," and "Antifascist" signs.

Attacking the media seems to be the Republican thing these days.

(33,041 posts)All cults seek to discredit all sources of information outside the cult.
The Fox Cult of Disinformation works because those immersed in it believe all other news sources are lying. Fox feeds this explicitly or implicitly with every show. The cult members evangelize the cult.
Repuke Nunes is applying the party tool. This will work for those caught in the cult. They will regurgitate whatever is fed to them to anyone they can.
