“BERNSTEIN: Also, as happened in Watergate, let some Democrats get up and say, we want a real bipartisan investigation of what happened in Cincinnati, in the IRS.”
Bernstein is right that manpower needs to saturate the likely perps involved in the cover-up but they he hasn’t kept up on where the investigation has gone and it has moved way beyond Cincinnati and into IRS political-appointee staffer who made numerous trips into the White House seeming to be directly coordinating persecution of the Tea Party groups.
Today's journalists have elite democrat handlers - people who give them sources to ready-made stories with lists of people to talk to. They'll also shut off the spigot if 'journalists' wander too far off the liberal plantation. Not a vocalized threat, but one that sits on the table...
"Journalists' fool themselves by saying 'yeah, we know who - and why - we're getting this information - and what their agenda is, but it's a great story none the less'. In short they're selling out while giving themselves an excuse about selling out.
Have you noticed how little you trust journalists today?
Journalists have become lazy, wedded to the idea of being cool, and driven by dreams of 'prizes'. The only 'prize' worth having is the trust and respect of your readers... somewhere along the line they've forgotten that.
