MSNBC Host Rips New York Times for Ignoring IRS Scandal: ‘This Is Why Conservatives Don’t Trust Print Media’


oe Scarborough has had enough of the Grey Lady burying the investigation of the Internal Revenue Service.
“This is unbelievable,” declared “Morning Joe” host Scarborough on his show Tuesday. “The Washington Post and the New York Times are not putting on the front pages of their newspapers that an internal investigation has been launched by the IRS on the most shady behavior.”
Instead of any mention of the investigation into the suspiciously missing emails of former IRS official Lois Lerner, the New York Times prominently displayed a story about a possible new bridge scandalinvolving New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
“You know, if George W. Bush or any Republicans had an IRS member that went after Democrats and then there was an internal investigation launched, you would not have time or space on the front page to talk about [other] issues,” Scarborough said. “This really is a scam!”
While the Times ran a story on the IRS investigation on A19, the Washington Post print edition apparently ignored the story entirely, leading Scarborough to fume:
This is why conservatives don’t trust national newspapers. It’s why they don’t trust broadcast news. It’s because there’s a double standard, and you can see it on every broadcast newscast, you can see it on the front page of every major newspaper. This is a scam.
It’s not the news that they run — even though this is a joke of a story they put on the front page. It’s the stories they don’t run. It’s the omissions, the act of omissions when Democrats are in power. It’s stunning.
