if crimes were discovered like they were under Nixon? Would a Woodward and Bernstein of today go after Obama's men? The IRS scandal has the potential, but will it be truly investigated?

What's your definition of a true investigation? Some people will never accept an investigation as valid unless it implicates the president. Even if evidence doesn't exist, it's presumed to be a cover-up.

The demise of the Newspapers and their reporters has truly killed a lot of the ability of the media to uncover and
bring out facts that should be reported. Would be a different world if we still had them in numbers.

For the first time in American history we have an IDGAF media. It is just an echo chamber. Nothing of substance. It is sad because the founders saw the power of the press as a cornerstone of freedom. A check and balance to abuse of gov't power.

Wait til after the midterms.

Can the GOP recover by then?

The breadcrumbs are there considering that IRS execs have a branch office at the Whithouse.
They have lived over there.

Covered up death threats from the government is what these people get. Look what happened when Snowden exposed the government, he was as good as dead until Poooootin took him in... Why would anyone in the MSM want that? They're too scared to expose the president.

Let's not forget that reporters' phones were tapped to see who they were talking to as were their parents. A story I'd like to see right now would be about who is picking what parts of the government are getting shut down, who is deciding on what pain to inflict on which people? AFter that, Benghazi, IRS, DOJ, along with possible wrong doing by the FEC and EPA.

But if we really had a press corps like we did when Nixon was around we'd already have Obama's college transcripts and his life would not be so secretive or have so many questions surrounding it.
