MSNBC Mocks NY Times, Wash Post for Lack of IRS Coverage (VIDEO)
Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 24 2014 | Washington Free Beacon

Posted on 06/24/2014 7:09:32 AM PDT by PoloSec

Morning Joe’s Joe Scarborough slammed the New York Times Tuesday for running a story about another possible Chris Christie bridge scandal and choosing not to run a front page story on the latest IRS targeting scandal developments.

“Is it possible that the New York Times and Washington Post are not putting on the front page of their newspapers the fact that an internal investigation has been launched against the IRS on the most shady behavior, and yet they put the Pulaski sky bridge whatever on page A-1?” Scarborough asked. “This is garbage.”

Panelist Nicolle Wallace jokingly searched for IRS coverage and found it located on A19 of the Times.

This led Scarborough to erupt even further, “This is why conservatives don’t trust national newspapers. It’s why they don’t trust broadcast news. There’s a double standard and you can see it on every broadcast. You can see it on the front page of every major newspaper. This is why we don’t trust the national news outlets, because they are so biased and slanted. It’s not the news that they run, even though this is a joke of a story to put on the front page here. It’s the stories they don’t run. It’s the omissions, the acts of omissions when Democrats are in power. It’s stunning.”

Maybe not a surprise if they are looking to support Warren because Hillary is too conservative.

But.. but... but running a story critical of the administration would be racist.

There has to be an end game here. The left is cunning, and unshakable in their resolve. MSNBC would never leave the reservation without permission. I don’t know what game plan is, but I can tell you, MSNBC will not intentionally damage the boy king without some sort of plan to advance the liberal agenda.

“The media today does not merit protection. Let’s abolish the First Amendment as it pertains to the press.”

At this point, what difference would it make?

What's important:

The bank is being robbed, people are being held hostage, while down the block a truck hauling 20,000 of gas has tipped over and the gas has caught fire setting two blocks of businesses ablaze.

What the limps cover:

The police and fire departments descended on a hot dog vendor because people complained he was burning the hot dogs and the smoke irritated them as they walked by.

Scarborough asked. “This is garbage.”

Well, that's a little strong. Used to wrap garbage, maybe.

Joe is an out-front representative of MSNBC. Let’s see if he issues a retraction or “clarification”. If not, the first statement stands.

Getting justifiably called ‘biased’ by MSNBC is like getting justifiably called ‘ugly’ by Rosa DeLauro.

They are condemning everything Obama in preparation for Hillary’s coronation.

That's the plan, but I don't think it will work.

She was SOS as the mid-east barreled towards even more chaos, and proved herself as clueless as her boss.

The Slimes and WaPos have to protect their boy from the angry Americans.

Angry needs to become determined.

In 2012 leftist Warren Buffet purchased the Media General chain of local newspapers. In 2013 leftist billionaire Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post. In 2013, Comcast took full control of NBC. Wealthy Comcast CEO Brian Roberts is a supporter of progressive causes and golfing buddy of Barack Obama.

Progressives control the media in this country and therefore exercise substantial control over what the American people learn about government and politics.

If the Koch brothers are truly spending heavily to support conservative political causes it would see there is no better way for them to spend their money than to buy one or more mainstream media organs such as CNN, The New York Times, Fox or CBS.
