The campaign committee for House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes has been funding a website billed as a local news outlet.
The site, CARepublican.com, features headlines ranging from national politics stories to state and local matters and college football. Many of the posts link out to conservative sites like National Review and The Federalist, and the Facebook page for the site labels it a media/news company that is focused on "delivering the best of US, California, and Central Valley news, sports, and analysis."
The site says it is paid for by Nunes' campaign committee, and the congressman has shared some CARepublican posts on his Facebook page.
Campaign money? I'm surprised it is not simply funded by the Russians, since Nunes is clearly doing their dirty work for them.
Well if you were looking for some fake news, I think we have narrowed the search a little.
Though actually it might be too late.

An online media outlet funded by Rep. Devin Nunes’s (R-Calif.) campaign appeared to be down Sunday afternoon after what the site called “heavy traffic and an attack on our servers.”
“The California Republican,” the name of the site, posted on its Facebook page that those trying to reach the site may encounter an error message.
As of late Sunday afternoon, the link to the site’s home page redirects back to the outlet’s Facebook page, and links to articles redirect to a broken Facebook link.
Politico reported earlier Sunday that the Nunes campaign has paid nearly $8,000 to a Fresno-area communications consultant since July for the site. "The California Republican" is listed as a "Media/News Company" on Facebook.
Well that must be terribly inconvenient.
Now how will all the mouth breathers get their phony news and conspiracy theories?
Oh wait, I guess Fox News still exists doesn't it?
