The paper noted that the House was to vote Thursday to create a select committee to investigate the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi attack and allegations of a cover-up.
“Republicans have raised a delicate set of questions and opened themselves up to accusations that they are politicizing a tragedy that cost four Americans their lives and misusing congressional oversight authority for gain in an election year.”
Hear that?
It wasn’t the people who got four Americans killed or who covered their own butts with brazen lies for the last two years who are on the hot seat.
It’s the ones trying to get to the truth.
The New York Times authors buttressed the IRS portion of their scenario with a quote from Ms. Lerner’s attorney, William W. Taylor III, who you can easily picture making an eloquent case that cigarettes are good for you:
“Today’s vote has nothing to do with the facts or the law. Its only purpose is to keep the baseless I.R.S. ‘conspiracy’ alive through the midterm elections.”
Baseless?
Well, lawyers are paid to say such things, but journalists are paid to report as objectively as possible – in theory.
Which is why we need to ask media outlets why they ignored the other big story on the front page of the Washington Times: “GOP finds 10% of tea party donors audited.”
