Scandal By the Numbers

One Republican governor finds himself in the midst of a scandal; a scandal for sure, when his aides have deliberately caused mayhem on the roads in retaliation for lack of support from a Democratic mayor in the state.  This Republican governor immediately holds a press conference - he apologizes 20 times, takes 90 questions from the press on it, and puts himself out there for 107 minutes. All the while, denying he knew about this scandal, but firing those responsible for it. Within 24-48 hours there is a U.S. Attorney assigned to investigate this scandal - a Hilary Clinton fundraiser, no less. Of course, this investigation will be fully objective.

It is reported by the Media Research Center, that the 3 major networks gave this story 44 times more coverage in less than 48 hours since it broke, than it gave towards the scandal about the IRS targeting conservative groups in the last 6 months.  http://mrc.org/media-reality-check/deluge-now-44-times-more-tv-coverage-christies-traffic-scandal-last-six-months-i

This Democratic administration has been embroiled in several major scandals over the last couple of years: the Benghazi attack in which 4 Americans were killed, the IRS playing politics with conservatives and their tax exempt status, the DOJ smuggling arms into Mexico, the DOJ wiretapping of the Associated Press and Fox News, and the rollout of Obamacare, from lies and more lies, to policy 'surprises' to failed sign-ups on the website. The response from the President and his administration has included stonewalled investigations, little accountability and zero apologies. In fact, Kathleen Sebelius remains in her position as Secy. of HHS, Lois Lerner quietly retired a few months ago, after being on paid leave, as head of the department which targeted conservatives at the IRS, and Susan Rice got promoted to National Security Adviser after she repeatedly lied about the reason for the consulate attack. Eric Holder continues to enjoy his post as Attorney General of the U.S. no matter what egregious acts he commits. And Hilary Clinton will most likely clinch the nomination for the 2016 presidential election despite her complete lack of accountability and zero transparency over Benghazi.

But don't tell any of this to the 3 major networks...they have more important things to cover. They have one Republican with a traffic scandal.
