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

[MarcATL]

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.​

Wait. You are comparing how much the IRS story has been updated and not how much coverage it got when the story originally broke?

I'll take Bogus Comparison Stats for $200, Alex...

Jesus Fucking Christ you are one gullible rube.

A year from now, I bet the bridge story gets less than two minutes of updates.​

These RW "updates" as they are known are for the SOLE purpose of ATTEMPTING to CREATE a scandal where there is none.

So they always take some little insignificant hearsay or incident and blow it out of proportion, only to have it be shot down when the facts come out.

Like the "targeting RW companies" non-fact for instance. It cause a big stir for many news cycles, until ALL the facts came out and low and behold, not only were they NOT targeted, but it happened to BOTH RW and LW companies.

Basically the IRS doing their job by checking companies that appear to be doing BOGUS activities for political profit.

These RW bastards managed to turn a normal activity into a manufactured scandal...as normal.

Now they have a REAL scandal on their hands with the big fat BULLY Christie and they are trying their darnedest to minimize it and ignore it.​
