Attorney General William Barr has reiterated his concerns about the journalistic landscape in the United States, saying that the press has done away with integrity in order to propagate political narratives.

“They’re basically a collection of liars. Most of the mainstream media. They’re a collection of liars and they know exactly what they’re doing,” Barr said in an interview with conservative outlet Townhall on Sept. 11.
