Networks' Fading Coverage of IRS Scandal

...."We have something like Mr. Shulman going to the White House more than 157 times now. That is not something the networks have covered. That is not a concept that they have ever expressed."

Monica Crowley added that Bob Schieffer announced the media have the power to determine the “shelf life” of a scandal.

Graham replied: "This is one of the ways the news media wields enormous power over our political culture, in what it defines as a scandal, and what it defines as a ‘so-called controversy,’ to use the terms they like to use. When the AP wrote a story the other day that even the AP scandal was an ‘alleged scandal,’ then you know these people are desperate to say it’s not a scandal."

This video with Larry Kudlow ties the White House to the IRS scandal. Shulman met with Stephanie Cutter to talk about Obamacare. You're the lawyer but it seems some of Shulman's arrogant past testimony looks like perjury or at least misleading Congress. http://obotomy.blogspot.com/2013/05/irss-doug-shulman-met-with-stephanie.html

One-third of the editorial cartoons in the link attack the conservatives that the IRS targeted rather than the IRS, which should be the one on trial. The left-wing mainstream media is so ideologically twisted that it still devotes significant ink to blame the victims who were raped for dressing inappropriately; i.e., they were dressed conservatively. Destroy the victim if they aren't on your team -- it's the Chicago, and Alinsky, way.
