LAURENCE HARVEY, CALL YOUR OFFICE: Dianne Feinstein had a Chinese spy connection she didn’t know about — her driver.

As Sean Davis of the Federalist tweets, “Imagine the Democrat reaction if it turned out Trump’s personal driver and consigliere for 20 years was a Russian spy. Now ask yourself why they’re not reacting the same way to news that the former head of the Senate Intelligence Committee was infiltrated.”

(Classical reference in headline.)

NEWS YOU CAN USE: How to Read the News Like a Pro.

From fellow Insta-co-blogger Steve Green, at the PJ mothership.

THAT WAS FAST:

● Old and Busted: Journalistic Institutions Shouldn’t Cave to Outrage Mobs*.

● The New Hotness? Newseum caves to outraged mob of news reporters, removes “Fake News” T-shirts from gift shop.

As “Comfortably Smug” tweets, “Tricking them into cutting off the journo museum’s only source of revenue to own the libs.”

Meanwhile, Stephen Miller wonders if CNN has “doxxed the creator of that T-Shirt yet?”

* Offer still valid whenever conservative journalists are hired, of course.

UPDATE: “Liberal defenders of the press were angrier about a dumb t-shirt being sold at Newseum than a racist being hired by the nation’s preeminent newspaper. And we wonder why public trust in journalism is at an all time low,” conservative radiologist/journalist Pradheep J. Shanker tweets.
