And as I've always been saying....far worse than the cover-up of the Benghazi debacle is the far more watergate-like abuse of power, using the IRS to target opposition organizations, and trying to cover that up
In the year since the scandal broke, numerous major developments have gone completely unreported by the Big Three. Examples include:
On August 2, FoxNews.com reported that House Oversight chairman Darrell Issa had accused acting IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel of blocking the committee’s investigation. Network coverage: Zero.
On September 4, CNN’s Drew Griffin reported that documents showed Lerner’s original story blaming low-level employees was a lie. Network coverage: Zero.
On September 11, 2013 the Wall Street Journal exhibited how Lerner’s own e-mails implied a liberal political agenda at work. Network coverage: Zero.
On September 18, 2013, a front-page analysis published by USA Today confirmed the targeting of conservatives. Network coverage: Zero.
At the end of March 2014, the New York Times noted that the House committee was still being frustrated by non-cooperation from the IRS. Network coverage: Zero.
And, an April 7, 2014 staff report by the House Oversight and Government Reform committee thoroughly demolished what remained of the notion that both sides had been targeted. Network coverage: Zero.
Finally on May 7, 2014, The House of Representatives voted to hold disgraced IRS bureaucrat Lois Lerner in contempt of Congress. Total network coverage? 15 seconds on Good Morning America. Zero on CBS and NBC.
I used to think it was simply an environment of MSM complicity in leaning on those stories hurtful to conservative & Republican causes while largely ignoring anything that could be hurtful to Democrat causes, and in particular, the 1st African American President. A culture of like minds, basically.
However the level of evidence building up appears to be convincing me of a far more coordinated effort to protect this President & his administration, from political damage, knowing how bad this would be for the Democrats, if they reported any of this as if it was a Republican in the WH.
