T/he Liberal Media Hate Machine STRIKES AGAIN!!
Democrats GIGGLE and CHEER.
Media Bias: The press has given the “Bridgegate” scandal a mountain of attention, as it should, since it’s the case of a gross abuse of power. The same media, however, behaves as if Democrats’ scandals don’t exist.
The story of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s staff shutting down a bridge to create a traffic nightmare is a legitimate news item. We covered it in an editorial because it is an example of a government official using raw power for political purposes and hurting thousands of innocents in the process.
We have also editorialized about the Obama scandal in which Internal Revenue Service officials tried to silence the Tea Party movement and minimize right-of-center groups’ influence on the 2012 elections.
And that’s where the difference lies: The mainstream media that jumped all over Republican Christie have virtually ignored the Democrats’ IRS trouble.
The Media Research Center, which keeps up with such things, reported Thursday that “in less than 24 hours, the three networks have devoted 17 times more coverage to a traffic scandal involving Chris Christie than they’ve allowed in the last six months to Barack Obama’s Internal Revenue Service controversy.”
MRC says that since the story broke Wednesday about Christie aides punishing a local mayor’s lack of endorsement with a massive traffic jam, ABC, CBS and NBC responded with 34 minutes and 28 seconds of coverage. Yet since July 1, the networks have “managed a scant two minutes and eight seconds for the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups.”
This isn’t the first IRS scandal the media haven’t wanted to cover. There are many more. At the Independent Review Journal, Kyle Becker compiled “24 Underreported Democrat Scandals That Make News Media’s ‘Bridgegate Mania’ Look Like a Joke.”
Included are Fast & Furious, Benghazi, IRS, the media phone records story, NSA spying, Solyndra/green energy, Rep. Maxine Waters’ shady family banking ties, Obama’s association with Tony Rezko, Jon Corzine’s MF Global debacle and former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s tax evasion.
The limitless hypocrisy of America’s media wouldn’t be an issue if it were harmless. But it’s not. Elections, and consequently public policy, are affected by the media’s hard-left slant. It’s going to be difficult for us to retain our heritage of liberty and principle as long as our press operates as a wing of the Democratic National Committee.

The central joke is the Justice Department and an investigation into ‘Bridgegate’. Eric Holder’s Justice Department is corrupt. He has intentionally ignored crimes committed by the race his bigotry prefers and gone after crimes of the race his bigotry targets. Furthermore, if Holder had a sincere interest in justice, it wouldn’t be focused on slop like email from a governor’s administration and it would be focused on the forged background of our POTUS. But because I think Holder knows he is under someone else’s watchful eye, Holder will administrate justice to that eye’s liking, and not necessarily for anything based on common ethics and honor.
Warning Comment
The Investor’s Business Daily article needs to be cleaned up a bit. Detractors, who trumpet the Leftist Party Line, will complain of such sloppy presentation, because they cannot refute the fact that the Left-wing Media presents an avalanche of lies to protect Obama from criticism for similar actions.
