On Monday, only CBS This Morning reported Friday's stunning revelation that the IRS somehow lost two years worth of emails from Lois Lerner, the official at the center of the agency scandal in which conservative groups were unfairly targeted.

Neither NBC's Today nor ABC's Good Morning America bothered to cover the shocking development. However, both broadcasts did manage to find time for full reports on Britain's baby Prince George learning to walk.

Cordes then concluded her report with more IRS spin suggesting the congressional investigation of the scandal was just a waste of time and money:

I believe they have to have backups for several years.

Ha! Quite so, and the emails ordering the audit will be lost forever to a super selective, multiple-disc-drive-and-tape-spanning data crash.

On the other hand, maybe CBS will be okay if they were the on-call desensitization platoon designated to make sure the scandal had a soft landing. Given how gentle they were with the story, I suppose that's possible.

Can we get the “It’s not a scandal if we don’t report it?” lady please?


And it won’t be reported. Not with the collapse of Iraq dominating everything.
