House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) noted corporate media has a “political bias” and called it a “true act of desperation” by the Biden administration.
House Republicans have criticized the Biden administration after the White House sent out a memo urging media outlets to increase scrutiny of GOP lawmakers following their launch of an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
The White House Counsel’s office delivered the memo—which was obtained by The Epoch Times and widely shared on social media—to executives at news outlets, including CNN, The New York Times, The Associated Press, and Fox News.
Ian Sams, a special assistant to the president and spokesman for the White House Counsel’s office, wrote the note, in which he stated, “It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.”
