So what’s the bigger scandal? A traffic jam in New Jersey, or Obama’s IRS targeting their ‘political enemies’ not seen since the Nixon administration? The answer to this question is obvious. The corrupt American state run media is so Obama biased that the traffic jam has gotten 17 more coverage than Obama’s IRS targeting got in the last six months. Both stories are about targeting ‘political enemies.’
In less than 24 hours, the big three networks have devoted 17 times more coverage to a traffic scandal involving Chris Christie than they’ve allowed in the last six months to Barack Obama’s Internal Revenue Service controversy. Since the story broke on Wednesday that aides to the New Jersey governor punished a local mayor’s lack of endorsement with a massive traffic jam, ABC, CBS and NBC have responded with 34 minutes and 28 seconds of coverage. Since July 1, these same networks managed a scant two minutes and eight seconds for the IRS targeting of Tea Party groups.
In contrast, journalists such as Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos pounced on the developing Christie story. The GMA host opened the program on Thursday by announcing, “Chris Christie in crisis. Calls at this hour for the feds to step in, investigate the explosive e-mails.”
I have absolutely zero sympathy for fat boy. If he is directly involved, he should resign. But like a typical progressive (Republican) he is just directing blame to his staffers. The media hypocrisy is just sick. But they may be doing us a favor. If they ruin Christie’s chances for 2016, then the Karl Rove Republicans wouldn’t be able to run the ‘only electable’ Christie down our throats. Problem is, what does that leave them? Jeb Bush?
