    Who reads newspapers any more?

    Get your news from the BBC. It is biased towards the truth.

    Censorship in news, schools, on tv...

    The goal is to infect children at a young age then you can feed them whatever garbage you want when they grow up and they'll never question it.

    If they aren't reporting it with the fervor it deserves, then they aren't journalists they are Obama supporters with access to a newspaper. Its as simple as that. Real journalism became extinct in 2007. The media is supposed to keep guys like Obama flying straight not help him cover up the whereabouts of the aircraft. So we have the majority of the media covering ducks stampeding, a soccer game and virtually nothing on the IRS targeting United States Citizens and the fact that the same entity that never loses your records (ever) down to the penny of what you owe somehow misplaced their own records.
    They are traitorous filth in my opinion.

    Of course those national newspapers will be the darlings of the Republican party when they print something positive about them. MOD EDIT - Off Topic

    Please let me know if find a newspaper or news channel that isn't being influenced by anything other than the news. I've been looking for a while.

    This 'scandal' evidently isn't exciting enough to sell papers. Obviously the right-wing want it publicised as ammunition against the current administration. They'll trust the media then, that's for sure...

    "Liberal Bias"?
    Not quite, when a story breaks it's news, and it gets reported.
    14 months later, when the story hasn't progressed, and nothing new has been revealed or discovered, it's no longer front page news.
    So when Republicans grill the head of the IRS, who says nothing new in his testimony, it gets reported on page 19, because it's not front page news.

    Do you get that?

    Scarborough felt the need to bring it up now didnt he.... 7 hard drives crashing ( 10 days after the content of them was requested) was news 14 months ago? The missing emails were news 14 months ago?

    Ok Goober please link an article from 14 months ago discussing the missing emails. That or just admit you are trying to spin the hell out of this..

    The IRS head make a statement he found nothing criminal in the IRS conduct.

    Thats a quote that libs are attracted to and will widely repeat.

    But Gowdy forced kevorkian to admit that he does not know the law and did not review any laws pertaining to the situation.

    So being ignorant of the facts a statement by the irs commissioner that no laws were broken is meaningless.

    That's hilarious. What you mean is the BBC matches your bias.

    Whoever sends your talking points needs to tighten up. Let me see, when did the NYT become a communist propaganda outlet? Well, before 1931 when Walter Duranty won a Pulitzer for Soviet propaganda. I understand the NYT is considering an annual Walter Duranty Award for the best socialist/communist propaganda for the year.

    Isn't this what I keep telling you? The legacy media is so brazenly biased that the only logical response is to discredit everything it says.

    Nice try, but it's not only that it gets reported, it's "how" it gets reported. Here's an example the "How"
    Headlines
    1) IRS Chief Blames Computer Crash for Missing Emails, but Questions Remain
    2) Republican's Badger IRS Chief Despite Lack of Evidence

    Well, if that was actual the case, yes, but it isn't. The IRS investigation has revealed many interesting things, but the media's ignored those findings. I could make a list, a long one, but I don't the time.

    Again, if that was true, fine, but it isn't. The crashed hard drives, the timing of when that supposedly happened and the fact the IRS didn't inform the hearing committee about it is NEW and given the circumstances rather suspicious and certainly highly questionable, especially coming from the IRS. So burying the news of this on page 19 has nothing to do with whether its new news or not, it has to do with how the NYT decided to report that news.
    And frankly, the entire argument that what & how papers print the news they do is so they sell papers is pretty lame considering their circulation has been dropping like a anchor for years.

    Oh yea, I get it. Do you?

    In other words none. But only intelligent free thinkers like you are aware of the potential problem. Nobody in any of the 10 or so countries that use the same system as the UK are capable of thinking about ways to stop the person paying the bills forcing their agenda on the editorial staff.

    It must be truly wonderful to be so much smarter than anyone else.

    it is human natural to not bite the hand that feeds you
    will you say anything derogatory to the man that signs your pay check and expect to continue to receive that pay check?
