His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

The roster of scandalcraft includes names like the Monkey Business, the Duke-Stir, the Sequoia and the Potomac. The engagements they were part of were more fit for the National Enquirer than the national Naval War College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest addition to the flotilla — again, thanks to Congressman Nunes — is the Alpha Omega.

Before a single vote had been cast in the primaries, however, Hart became the subject of an investigation by the Miami Herald, which had gotten a tip that the senator was having an extramarital affair. Among the evidence of impropriety provided to the paper were snapshots of Hart and his paramour, a woman named Donna Rice, on a pleasure cruise from Florida to the island of Bimini aboard the Monkey Business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A team of Herald reporters, accompanied by a photographer, witnessed Hart and Rice entering and leaving the senator's Washington, D.C., residence. Hart denied a dalliance, but the resulting explosion of attention led him to quit the presidential race.

Among other things, he was accused of demanding salary kickbacks from his congressional staff and requiring them to do repair work on his boat, docked at a Washington, D.C. marina. I've tried without success to dig up the name of the craft, which Traficant described during his House expulsion hearing as \"a 1970 wooden Egg Harbor motor yacht. It is old, but it was lovely inside.\" Not even the grand jury indictment mentions the boat's name. We'll just call it the USS Traficant in honor of the late congressman, who served seven years in prison for his crimes.

Among other things, he was accused of demanding salary kickbacks from his congressional staff and requiring them to do repair work on his boat, docked at a Washington, D.C. marina. I've tried without success to dig up the name of the craft, which Traficant described during his House expulsion hearing as \"a 1970 wooden Egg Harbor motor yacht. It is old, but it was lovely inside.\" Not even the grand jury indictment mentions the boat's name. We'll just call it the USS Traficant in honor of the late congressman, who served seven years in prison for his crimes.

"content": "\u003cp>This week, some residents in Republican Rep. Devin Nunes' Central Valley district received a piece of political campaign mail that was unlike your typical mailer asking for donations. It's a 38-page, full-size color magazine titled “The Fresno Bees: The dirty little secrets of the Valley’s propaganda machine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cover shows cartoon bees drunk on Kool-Aid aboard a ship that’s about to sink. Inside, Fresno Bee reporters and their recently published stories about the congressman and his campaign for re-election are discredited as unethical and unprofessional. Local business owners, elected officials and other community members are quoted criticizing the paper and lauding Nunes, who is also chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. At least one reporter is pictured in the magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4955938-Nunes-Mailer-Fresno-Bees.html\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Fresno resident Lisa Bryant received the magazine in her mail, she was surprised. As an assistant professor of political science at Fresno State University, her past research has involved studying campaign mailers from around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Usually when we see negative mailers we see, you know, a single, 8½-11 kind of two-sided postcard,\" Bryant said. \"So, to think how much this must have cost the campaign and how much effort was put into it, it's pretty impressive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The magazine begins with a letter from Nunes campaign chairman Bob Smittcamp and finance director Tony Souza describing the Bee’s stories on Nunes as “derived from baseless insinuations from liberal groups,” in violation of “basic journalistic standards on ethics, objectivity and fact checking,” and equivalent to personal attacks on Smittcamp and Souza themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11696794\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11696794\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-800x449.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-800x449.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-1200x674.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-960x539.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/RS33058_IMG_2062-qut-520x292.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fresno State political science professor Lisa Bryant flips through the mailer. \u003ccite>(Alex Hall/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“That mailer was filled with a bunch of inaccurate statements about the work that we did. There was stuff that was out of context, there was stuff that was manipulated. It is just flat-out wrong, a lot of it,” Fresno Bee editor Joe Kieta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn’t the first sign of tension between Nunes and the Fresno paper. \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/marek-warszawski/article216739445.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Recent editorials\u003c/a> have been critical of the congressman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, the Fresno Bee wrote about \u003ca href=\"https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4461892/Arlene-Anase-v-Alpha-Omega-Winery-CA-Napa.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a lawsuit\u003c/a> against a Napa winery that alleged the company had held a fundraiser in 2016 aboard a yacht involving illicit drugs and prostitution.

Devin Nunes' Central Valley district received a piece of political campaign mail that was unlike your typical mailer asking for donations. It's a 38-page, full-size color magazine titled “The Fresno Bees: The dirty little secrets of the Valley’s propaganda machine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cover shows cartoon bees drunk on Kool-Aid aboard a ship that’s about to sink. Inside, Fresno Bee reporters and their recently published stories about the congressman and his campaign for re-election are discredited as unethical and unprofessional. Local business owners, elected officials and other community members are quoted criticizing the paper and lauding Nunes, who is also chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. At least one reporter is pictured in the magazine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
