Did you know that there is important new information about the IRS scandal – information that makes it even worse than we thought it was?
Not if you rely on the network news for your information you don\’t.
Excerpted from Geoffrey Dickens\’ piece at newsbusters.org:
New e-mails, obtained via Judicial Watch, show the IRS didn\’t just target conservative non-profits but also donors who gave to those organizations. So far none of the Big Three (ABC, CBS, NBC) networks have yet to report on these latest revelations in the IRS scandal.
On Wednesday, Judicial Watch announced that the documents revealed that in 2010: “The IRS considered the issue of auditing donors to 501(c)(4) organizations, alleging that a 35 percent gift tax would be due on donations in excess of $13,000. The documents show that the IRS wanted to cross-check donor lists from 501(c)(4) organizations against gift tax filings and commence audits against taxpayers based on this information….The documents show that the IRS had not enforced the gift tax since 1982. But then, in February 2011, at least five donors of an unnamed organization were audited.”
Mr. Dickens goes on to cite specific verbiage from emails which makes clear just how invested the Obama IRS was in coming down on non-profit organizations that did not adhere to his view of the world.
This is exactly the kind of behavior that mainstream media – especially, but not exclusively, the networks – would come down on like a ton of bricks if the President were a Republican.
But for Democrat Barack Obama? Suppressed. If you rely on those media for news you do not know a thing about this.
Keep \’em ignorant and you own \’em.
I talk a lot about media bias in here. This is why.
