IRS Division head Lois Lerner...yes, and employee of the IRS...invoked her 5th Amendment right against self incrimination during a congressional hearing. I think that ranks in the Top Five. I'll admit, the Tornado in Oklahoma is big, so is the jihadist attack in London, the DOJ investigation into the leaks...but then what. What is bigger than this? Bob Woodward (you know, from Watergate) said this is one that, at this point, could legitimately include a comparison to Watergate.
FOX News put it #1 - ahead of their own reporter getting investigated.
Other than that, the IRS Scandal, let alone Lerner's pleading the 5th - did not make the top 20 for CNN, NBC, CBS or ABC. Not even on the page. A mom having her son arrested for taking her Pop Tarts (.
..depends if she already toasted - in my book) made several...
 |
| Obamas' prom picture is a bigger story that the IRS targeting Right Wingers... |
 |
| Again, if mom already toasted, I would say its a misdemeanor... |
 |
| GITMO is a 'positive' story for the administration - even though its a broken campaign promise |
 |
| Jodi Arias - already guilty, made the front page. |

Fox News is simply a sock puppet for the Republican intelligencia (if you can call them that). All they do is spout Republican lies intended to discredit the first half-black American President. An IRS Division head taking the 5th before a committee of Congress isn't news because the House of Representatives has a Republican majority. It's clearly political.
I'm surprised that CNN even ran a story on poor, downtrodden negros in Britain expressing themselves in the only way they could -- hitting a soldier with a car and then hacking him to death with meat cleavers. But it is a story about race and about how some races have been treated unfairly.
ABC coverage of the well hashed over Jody Arias verdict is news fit to be on a headline.
It's ugly out, so pick your favorite story wisely. You might have to do a little digging to find a good one I'm afraid.
