Now 44 Times More TV Coverage of Christie Scandal Than in Last Six Months on IRS

[BlackSand]

Now we know how you tell a real scandal from a fake one: The major media outlets ignore the real scandal and go into overdrive covering the fake scandal.

In less than 48 hours, ABC, CBS and NBC deluged viewers with coverage of Chris Christie's traffic jam scandal, devoting a staggering 88 minutes to the story. In comparison, these same news outlets over the last six months have allowed a scant two minutes for the latest on Barack Obama's Internal Revenue Service scandal. The disparity in less than two days is 44-to-one. [See a chart below.]

From Wednesday through Friday morning, the latest on Christie's Traffic-Gate led 11 out of 13 news programs. NBC produced the heaviest coverage, over 34 minutes. CBS followed close behind with more than 30 minutes. ABC came in third with just under 23 minutes.

Meh ... Have A Beergarita and A Wonderful Evening ...
It Isn't Going To Matter and There Is Nothing Surprising About The Way They Chose To Cover It.
It would be more interesting if they did it against a backdrop of Governor Christie and President Obama strolling up the beach hand and hand ... What was the major network's coverage time devoted to that love-fest?

Ha ha, hater dupes. You are totally misinformed. Read something, chumps of the greedy rich...There is no IRS scandal. lol

Get this through your incredibly thick skull: There's a smoking gun. It's called two idiots who actually used Gmail to correspond and put their dirty deeds in writing. When you send out an email through Google, Google owns it. Read the fine print.

The IRS "scandal" has no such thing. And to add to the lackluster, none of the 501c requests were denied. They all got their wish to spew radical right wing bullshit under the guise of "social services". It's just that the little piggies put a rush of apps into the IRS at an astounding rate in 2010 that it commanded the attention of the the gatekeepers.

Got it now, Cletus?

Over 4 days there were at least 1,000,000 people affected by the petulance of Christie. The IRS scandal inconvenienced a covey of self-righteous Tea Baggers. BFD.

Are you truly that ignorant of the facts or are you that much of incrediably huge liar?

You don't have a single fact right in your statement when it comes to the IRS scandal.

Which applicants were denied? Name them.
When Forbes mea culpas, it's time to give it up.

".......TIGTA found no evidence of political meddling. Despite allegations that the agency singled out tea party groups for special scrutiny, of the nearly 300 cases the IRS labeled potentially political, only one-third were identified as tea party or other conservative organizations. And not one of those 300 cases, including the conservative groups, had its application for tax-exempt status denied, though some are still pending'''.


Now sit down and STFU.

Obviously, you do not know what the word "scandal" means.

Allow me to enlighten you:

"
scan·dal

noun \ˈskan-dəl\ : an occurrence in which people are shocked and upset because of behavior that is morally or legally wrong
: talk about the shocking or immoral things that people have done or are believed to have done
: something that is shocking, upsetting, or unacceptable".


Yes, by this definition, there is an IRS scandal, based on the fact that the majority of Americans are shocked, upset (and disgusted)..and based upon the fact that you are, in fact, talking right now about the shocking and immoral things that people (the admin) have done or are believed to have done.


I'm glad I could help you with that, so you don't continue to make an idiot out of yourself.


The thing I find most appalling about leftwad extremists is their exceedingly limited vocabulary.

Scandal - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

 

[rightwinger]

Scandal: punishing a community out of political retribution

 

[Dot Com]

there was no IRS scandal. Just like has been said, there was a deluge of tee pee'ers wanting to get tax-exempt status in 2010 & none of them were denied.

 

[koshergrl]

Progressives: dimwitted criminals who make up new definitions for crimes and human rights violations when they get caught.

 

[rightwinger]

Progressives: dimwitted criminals who make up new definitions for crimes and human rights violations when they get caught.

Republicans: admit to closing bridge access to the busiest bridge in America to punish a local community

 

[koshergrl]

Isn't that a different topic?

I believe there is already a thread on that.

 

[koshergrl]

But it's pretty funny that you bring that here, since the consensus is that THAT scandal has been artificially propped up to drown out the criminal activity of the left.

 

[Dot Com]

what would we do here w/o kgrill to guide us

NEWSFLASH ASSWIPE!!! an old woman, maybe older than you, died because of the ensuing gridlock.

Fort Lee woman died as GWB closures delayed medical help, report says | NJ.com

 

[HenryBHough]

One down in Fort Lee; four down in Benghazi.

Care to deny?

 

[Wildman]

Maybe that's because the IRS story never was a scandal.

Maybe?

No "maybe" about it. The IRS "scandal" was a scandal only in the fevered imaginations of conservatives. The rest of the country wondered why we should be upset by the IRS doing its job.

now i know why you only have 908 posts after 4 years, AND thanked twice...!

posting stupid shit like the above must be awfully embarrassing

There is probably more media coverage for the christie scandal than the IRS scandal because there was no IRS scandal. What we had was a whole bunch of right wing idiots making smoke and praying for a fire. It NEVER happened!!!! What did happen is that in the end, after all the committee meetings, the finger pointing, the screamiing, and the crying, there was no substance to the charges. The IRS scandal died. Unfortunately you didn't.

Thank you for posting the facts proving your lie and or ignorance.

You claimed

They all got their wish to spew radical right wing bullshit under the guise of "social services".

and then in rebuttal post you post

And not one of those 300 cases, including the conservative groups, had its application for tax-exempt status denied, though some are still pending

Groups are still waiting YEARS after applying. It is worse than an outright denial because the denial can be appealed.. Failure to either grant or deny an application doesn't allow the group to do anything.

So, once again, thank you for proving that you are either an ignorant left wing poster or a lying left wing poster... Not that there is much difference between the two.

 

[OriginalShroom]

I recall a poll done by PPP that said 44% of republicans believed the Benghanzi issue is the worst scandal in American history. That is insane. It is one thing to think the Benghazi incident is even a scandal. It is quite another to think it is the worst in US history. If that is what you think then you are a complete moron.

Further evidence of their emotionally driven ideology and shocking lack of critical thinking skills.

How many died because of Watergate?

How many died in Benghanzi?

IT IS NOT OBAMA OR HILLARY'S FAULT THOSE TROOPS DIED.

The controversy is how they responded to it.

Really?

They refused to send in troops, they refused to beef security and then they watched them die on TV like it was a movie. And you want to claim it wasn't their "fault". Remember Reggie Love? Obama's butt boy? His interview where he said that Obama couldn't sit there and watch it, so they went and played cards instead?

 

[ron4342]

One down in Fort Lee; four down in Benghazi.

Care to deny?

Will you deny the almost 4,500 Americans who lost their life in Iraq? Will you deny the 3000 or so who died in the Twin Towers. What about Katrina? Will you deny the almost 1500 people who died during the Katrina screw up? Before you point your finger at others perhaps you should look at the death and destruction that happened on the republican watch.

Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin were not Republicans ... Just Saying, True Story.
