Deafening Silence on Obama IRS Scandal Developments
Newsbusters ^ | August 28, 2014 | By Ken Oliver-Méndez

Posted on 08/28/2014 4:07:33 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

The nation’s top television news broadcasts - in both English and Spanish - have been entirely mum on the latest revelations related to alleged obstruction of justice and politically-directed abuse of power at the Obama administration’s Internal Revenue Service.

Whether at ABC, CBS and NBC, or Univision, Telemundo and Mundo Fox, these networks to date have essentially censored the admission by a U.S. Justice Department official –revealed by government watchdog group Judicial Watch – that allegedly lost e-mails of Obama IRS official Lois Lerner are in fact accessible, through the federal government’s computer back-up system.

As Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton told Fox News, which has been the only major network to report on these developments, “there are no ‘missing’ Lois Lerner emails, nor missing emails of any of the other top IRS or other government officials…the Obama administration has known all along where the email records could be, but dishonestly withheld this information.”

The MSM supports both the coup d’etat against
the Constitution AND where the US taxpayer money went.

He ignores the Constitution all the time.
The Congress doesn’t always vote on bills — sometimes they just “deem” something to be passed.
Some spending (Obamacare) originates in the Senate — and the US Supreme Court is fine with that.
Obama takes legislation (Obamacare) which has been passed by Congress, and he rewrites it as needed, enforces parts he likes, and ignores parts he doesn’t like.
He uses the IRS as a weapon.
He destroys evidence whenever it seems convenient.
Refuses to be held accountable by any other branch of government.
He just doesn’t care.
And to top it off: We have no national borders.

As I’ve been saying for years:
He lies.
We know he lies.
He knows that we know he lies.
He does not care.

This is a completely lawless country now. There is no consent of the governed and no Law of The Land in any real sense. There are just powerful men with military weapons, ruling through force and terror.

Their marching orders are to bury any negative stories on BO for the next two months.

As if not reporting will make them go away.

The MSM supports


The Left always says “How can there be a conspiracy? The MSM are competing with each other.”

Bunk. Of course there is a conspiracy. The Leftists in the media take their cue from the NYSLimes, WashCompost etc. Then just like flocks of birds or schools of fish, they swim together and all report and say the same things just by watching each other and beating down anybody that steps too far away from their flock. Look what they did to Sharyl Attkison of CBS news when she actually started to do her job as a reporter. She was kicked out in a few months.

The other drones see this and go along since they are basically leftist drones anyway so why not?

Worse than the media silence, and probably the CAUSE, is the deafening silence from the GOP "Leadership" on the Hill and all the prospective GOP POTUS candidates.

Chirp! Chirp! ... a$$holes.

The media is just an organ of the US government at this point. Mussolini would be proud to see his vision of fascism so fully implemented.

"The media is just an organ of the US government at this point.

Partially correct. It's an organ of the Marxist, leftist, socialist liberal, anti-Christian and anti-white American establishment in America. That establishment is in control of the US Government at this time.

But should conservative Americans manage to get elected and take control of the US Government just watch and see how critical and anti-government the American media can be. It can be amazing to see all of the trumped up "indignation" and "righteous" opposition to the government the leftist media establishment can conjure up during press conferences held with all of those evil conservative politicians and public figures.

Even Russians in the Soviet Union were smart enough to know that the media was full of crap and was heavily laced with propaganda.
