Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after Fox News on Thursday over coverage of her during the government shutdown and bluntly asked what the network’s obligation was to tell the truth. “As I say *in the clip you posted* we WENT to the majority leader’s office - he was absent. So we decided to drop letters off at almost every place he could run (including the GOP break room),” she tweeted. “At what point is @FoxNews obligated to not lie? And more importantly, #WheresMitch?” The matter at hand concerned coverage of Ocasio-Cortez’s attempt to find Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and demand to him in person that he consider legislation passed by the House of Representatives to reopen the government. McConnell has said he would not bring any bill to reopen the government to the floor that President Trump would veto.

In a statement, Doocy defended his reporting. “In an earlier segment today, I played a clip of Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying in her own words that she had been looking for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, recorded at McConnell’s Russell office,” he said. “I then stated after the clip that they went to the wrong place, simply meaning that he wasn’t there at the time nor was he in any of the places they outlined in the clip that we played. They didn’t have anything set up with McConnell’s team, which is why they couldn’t locate him and what I was ultimately trying to explain to our viewers.” Also Read: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Fox Guest Calling Me 'Little Girl' Is 'Walking Argument to Tax Misogyny' The shutdown, now the longest in U.S. history, continues to remain deadlocked over funding for President Trump’s proposed wall along the Mexican border.

Mark Mohler and Kimberly Jeffries saw the shark feasting on a dead sperm whale on Sunday, boldly swimming alongside the seven-metre giant and capturing stunning pictures of the experience.
