The San Francisco Inquirer Looks Like Local News. Here’s Why Politicians Are Furious With the Site
23rd January 2023
A New York consultant who reportedly published false news articles about political figures has created a website called the San Francisco Inquirer, which is designed as a local news site but appears to be an effort to pressure federal lawmakers into supporting the consultant’s client, a Bay Area-based tribe.
The website has so riled California lawmakers that it was recently the subject of a tense meeting in Washington, D.C., between the tribe’s chair and five members of Congress, according to audio of the meeting obtained by The Chronicle.
Apparently Democrats don’t like being treated the way they usually treat Republicans.
