For all these "scandals", I still have yet to hear the media talk about

the fake/doctored email from ABC that was changed to make the administration look bad. Has that story gone outside the evening shows on MSNBC and the liberal blogosphere? I don't watch much of the evening news, but I figured it would have been mentioned somewhere at least?

And, I've yet to hear that when the IRS targeted Tea Party groups in 2010 and 2011, the head of the IRS was a Bush appointee. Has that even made MSNBC? Anybody?

Thanks for any help.

will be at the top of the list of people they question on the IRS 'scandal'

But, I'm waiting to hear mention of the fake email or the fact that it was a Bush appointee heading the IRS at the time of the targeting on the nightly news, or to read articles about it in the NY Times, Washington Post or USA Today.

They can omit important shit (like the Chimp's war) and they can just make shit up out of thin air - but we are supposed to stand up for them and put our hands on our hearts and pledge to them.
