CBS 'Believes in Easter Bunny' and IRS Excuse for Lost Lerner Emails

Apparently CBS News believes in the Easter Bunny.

Newsbusters' Brad Wilmouth reported this morning that CNN's John King made this comment about the Lois Lerner emails that the IRS now claims are supposedly lost: ""Do you believe in the Easter Bunny? Do you believe in Santa Claus? Do you believe that Lois Lerner's emails just suddenly went poof?" Well, CBS News seems to be in Easter Bunny belief mode based on their narrow report Friday, IRS lost Lois Lerner's emails in tea party probe, which carefully avoids any curiosity as how such emails are now supposedly irretrievable. As we shall see, the comments posted by their own readers provides the informative skepticism that CBS lacks. In fact their own former reporter Sharyl Attkisson is now asking on her website the questions that CBS should but so far hasn't been asking:

Or maybe Harvey the Invisible Rabbit will be assigned by CBS to this story.

cBS News! Fake But Accurate!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sharyl is just asking questions that no Communist-American journalist will ask.

Lois gets ready to stir up the Tea party while the Mad hatter offers her plausible deniablity advice.

I thought Dan Rather retired.......

[Huskrrrr]

Yet I’m sure we will hear a recycle of Nixon’s 18 minute tape gap story come 2016.

[I want the USA back]

This administration takes us for a$$holes, and the media is 100% behind them.

[GOPJ]

CBS isn’t as stupid as NBC. That’s about all that can be said in their favor...

[fhayek]

We all remember Nixon, don't we? It wasn't the break in, it was the subsequent coverup that cost Nixon his presidency. Coverup. From CBS, not even a raised eyebrow. This screams coverup. This ROARS coverup. CBS is worthless.

[morphing libertarian]

Nixon using the watergate burglars to break into democrat Hdq and subsequent cover up, pales in comparison to the Hero of Benghazi lying and covering up Benghazi and using the FBI to go after political opponents to win an election. Just two of his crimes.

Nixon had the sense to resign and this guy has no morality or obligation to the country.

Really I'm more shock at CNN then CBS ..CNN was actually skeptical of the lost email excuse ???!!!!...dam random act of thinking

Malia Obama working as production assistant on Halle Berry's 'Extant': report

The first daughter ‘helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take’ on the California set of the CBS show, according to a report by TheWrap. The 15-year-old aspiring filmmaker got a visit in California from her parents over the weekend.

[Political Junkie Too]

Democrats tried this excuse before.

Paul Sperry of WorldNetDaily reported on the missing White House emails of Al Gore and how the entire email archive process was tainted during the Clinton-Gore campaign financing scandal investigations.

The Democrat party was always a criminal and corrupt organization.

But you know what they say, if it works keep doing it until the other side figures out a defense for it.
