Scarborough Goes off on NY Times for Running Christie Story over IRS: ‘This Is a Scam’
June 24 2014 Tuesday-
Morning Joe host
Joe Scarborough lit into the
New York Times Tuesday morning for running a front page story about a possible second
Chris Christie bridge scandal when he felt the IRS investigation was a far more pressing issue, calling the
Times’ news priorities a “scam” and alleging that it was indicative of why conservatives don’t trust national news outlets.
“Is it possible that the
New York Times and
Washington Post
are not putting on the front page of their newspapers the fact that an
internal investigation has been launched against the IRS on the most
shady behavior, and yet they put the Pulaski sky bridge whatever on page
A-1?” Scarborough asked. “This is garbage.”
“This really is a scam,” Scarborough continued. “This is why
conservatives don’t trust national newspapers. It’s why they don’t trust
broadcast news. There’s a double standard and you can see it on every
broadcast. You can see it on the front page of every major newspaper.
This is why we don’t trust the national news outlets, because they are
so biased and slanted. It’s not the news that they run, even though this
is a joke of a story to put on the front page here. It’s the stories
they don’t run. It’s the omissions, the acts of omissions when Democrats
are in power. It’s stunning.”
Former Bush administration official
Nicolle Wallace found the IRS story on page A19 of the
Times
