Good morning.

There are many ways elected officials can respond to criticism from their local newspaper. A letter to the editor. A call to the publisher. A tweet. Or they can just ignore it.

Representative Devin Nunes, the California Republican at the center of the storm over the release of a classified memorandum challenging the F.B.I. investigation of President Trump and Russia, has come up with a response particularly fitting for our times: He has created his own news site, a curation of news from both nonpartisan and partisan sources.

It is called “The California Republican.” Some of the headlines on The Republican, the existence of which was first reported by Politico, have little to do with Mr. Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. But others provide the defense of Mr. Nunes that he may have found lacking in more conventional news media.

“There’s another memo you haven’t heard about. What’s in it?” reads one headline, referring to a memorandum written by Senators Charles E. Grassley of Iowa and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. “The Grassley-Graham memo appears to back up the now-famous Nunes memo, according to National Review.”
