In less than 24 hours, the big 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. Since the story broke on Wednesday that aides to the New Jersey governor punished a local mayor's lack of endorsement with a massive traffic jam, ABC, CBS and NBC have responded with 34 minutes and 28 seconds of coverage. Since July 1, these same networks managed a scant two minutes and eight seconds for the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups.
In contrast, journalists such as Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos pounced on the developing Christie story. The GMA host opened the program on Thursday by announcing, "Chris Christie in crisis. Calls at this hour for the feds to step in, investigate the explosive e-mails."

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Yes, but this is not a “phony” scandal like all the others.
The MSM sure has a funny way of showing their gratitude to Christie for helping to re-elect Obama, eh?
I’m shocked.
Of course. It distracts from Obama’s catastrophes and it guts a ‘Pubbie contender (not that I am going to miss Christie).
I don’t like Christie but the hypocrisy is blaring. Even if the Christie Aide intentionally, heck even if Christie himself created the traffic study in order to create a traffic jam to make it painful for a political opponent, what is the difference between that and Obama Administration clowns shutting down public access to the White House and the Veterans memorials in D.C. to make it politically painful for Obama’s political opposition.
The dems are hoping this has legs to get the really bad news of obamacare off the TV screens.
The IRS was targeting conservatives - and the democrat criminals who run the government think breaking that law is just fine.
Now when a Republican does something wrong it’s a different story - then it’s Katie bar the door... the little jerks find their sense of outrage.
Remember when Joe Biden’s motercade killed someone, yeah I know, hardly a mention in the media, but hey its all good when Dems kill people..they do it all the time thats why they love abortion..but when you have something with Christie who might not even be involved in this at all, they pounce on him..they just want him gone so they can get Hillary “Who murdered FOUR people” Clinton into the White House..oh wait, almost forgot Vince Foster, make that FIVE people she killed
“Look! A squirrel!!!”
It permits Pelosi-Reid to again claim there “exists a vast right wing culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the party!”
The nixonian IRS scandal is FAR more serious affecting the entire country.
All a bunch of BS.
Christie won’t be missed, by Da Deacon. . .
All he has to do is loudly and longly exclaim that when he is President, he will see Lois Lerner tried, convicted and executed for crimes against the Republic.
It won’t. The only tv screens the left watch never discuss Obamacare unless to praise it.
Why do people keep whining about what the MSM talks about since no one watches, reads, or listens to them. Their audiences are below ratings on ESPNU for Division 3 left handed lesbian college lacrosse.
