The IRS Targets The Right And Gives Free Passes To The Left: Just Like The Main Stream Media Does.
The current IRS scandal is getting a lot of attention as it should. This abuse of power and attacks on specific, targeted groups of Americans is antithetical to American values and likely part of a larger abuse of government power against the Obama Administrations perceived enemies in general.
However, what is also antithetical to American values is how the monolithic left wing media does the exact same thing to specific Americans. The media is the watch dog of Government, yet they give the left a pass and suppress the right with the most stringent and unwavering scrutiny imaginable. I like the scrutiny they give to the right, however, they need to apply the exact same scrutiny on the left. You cannot prosecute one side with the utmost scrutiny and have little intellectual curiosity about what the other side does. Combined with what seemingly seems to be the entire entertainment industry, nearly all academia and newspapers, the left controls nearly all the levers of information dissemination and control.
The monolithic news media needs to begin to allow more diverse voices into its ranks in order to prosecute the left as passionately as it prosecutes the right. All sides must be kept honest and accountable to the public. The current misuse of government is a result of the invincibility that the left feels when it comes to accountability. The media is to blame for this.
