I should add that press bias continues to manifest itself in this story, with some journalists even declaring that Representative Darrell Issa’s attacks on White House press secretary Jay Carney make them more disinclined to cover the scandal. What an odd journalistic standard that is. Whatever one thinks of Mr. Issa and his comments about Jay Carney being a “paid liar”–and I think they’re unwise and unfortunate coming from a committee chairman–this scandal merits press scrutiny. And if this were happening under a conservative president–if those being targeted by the IRS were black, or gay, or liberal–I can promise you the coverage would be intense and wall-to-wall regardless of how many stupid things were said by Democratic members of Congress. Journalists would be falling all over themselves covering this story. Right now they’re not. I’ll leave it to discerning readers to figure out why. Peter Wehner
