The Widening IRS Scandal

The IRS not only singled out grassroots Tea Party organizations, but also a wide swatch of conservative groups, including some with ties to Israel and others advocating the sanctity of the US Constitution. Perhaps instead of scrutinizing these groups, IRS agents should go back and re-read the Bill of Rights and Constitution. The specter of a federal agency running roughshod over American principles and laws is simply intolerable. Heads should roll at this all-powerful, but wantonly reckless agency. CNN reports

Al-Qaeda Linked to Benghazi

Several Yemeni men belonging to al-Qaeda took part in the terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi last September, according to several sources who have spoken with CNN. One senior U.S. law enforcement official told CNN that “three or four members of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula,” or AQAP, took part in the attack.

Oh, Er, Islamic…Terrorists

CNN’s Candy Crowley on Sunday started to say that deceased Boston bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev had posted “Islamic videos” online before apologizing and calling them “terrorist videos.” “We know that both the CIA and the FBI were told by Russia, their counterparts, ‘You got to look at this guy, we think he’s been radicalized. We think he’s a terrorist,’” the State of the Union host told panelists. “Then we have the fact that up came these, at some point after a trip to Russia and before it, up came Islamic videos — or, I’m sorry, terrorist videos on his website. … At least one department, Homeland Security I believe, knew he’d either come or gone to Russia. And he’s putting up, you know, in praise of terrorism. Why in the world didn’t anybody think, oh, wait, this is a danger sign?”

This Debate’s Gone to the Dogs

This just in…Former President George Bush’s dog Barney died last week. “Liberals say Barney would have been saved if Obamacare had been fully implemented,” says Jodi Miller. “However, some conservatives are blaming the Clintons.” In this edition of NewsBusted,  Miller also touches on Chuck Hagel’s disastrous Congressional hearing, Leon Panetta’s decision to allow women in combat, and RuPaul defeating CNN’s Piers Morgan in the TV rating battle.

President Auto-Pen

Obama leaves the real work to the “professionals.” They’re certainly scraping the barrel for heroes these days. And — THAT is CNN? All this, plus: Al Gore cashes in with Al Jazeera as Ben Crystal presents The Great Eight from the Personal Liberty Digest.

Rudy Schools Piers Morgan

We might have won the American Revolutionary War, but now the British have gotten the last laugh by sending us Piers Morgan, liberal twit and CNN anchorman. Hear Morgan’s defense of the inept UN ambassador Susan Rice shredded by former New York Mayor Rudy Giulani.

MSNBC Jumping the Shark

Expect a complete meltdown on MSNBC on election night if Mitt Romney defeats Barack Obama for the presidency. Already, pundit Chris Matthews is accusing the nation of racism, while a young girl supporting Romney was openly jeered on another MSNBC show. CNN isn’t much better, trying to undermine both the US Navy and the Romney campaign. Stephen Kruiser points out the growing incidents of media derangement syndrome is this edition of Kruiser Control.

Obamacronium, Dense Matter

Scientists unveil the incredible discovery of Obamacronium, the densest element known to mankind. But it can also be the most destructive element when combined with CNNnewsium, so peons beware if you fall within the orbit of either of these unstable elements.

Candy Crowley’s Walkback

Candy Crowley, Presidential debate moderator, stepped into a pile of camel doo when she jumped smackdab into the fray and seconded President Obama’s assertions on Libya. Most journalists are just as egotistic and self-centered as Crowley and also card-carrying, certifiably moonbat liberals. But the few remaining professionals in this discredited trade try to feign impartiality and refrain from acting like a shill for one political camp or the other. Not Candy. She was clearly serving double-duty last night, blowing a referee’s whistle at the same time she was cheerleading for Obama.

She had already interrupted Mitt Romney 28 times, allotted the president 11 percent more facetime in the debate and stacked the deck with questions that might as well have been Democratic talking points, with all the focus on lady parts, downtrodden aliens, reincarnating George Bush and banning assault guns.

Be that as it may, it’s hardly shocking that Crowley is now doing an about-face and channeling Emily Litella’s immortal words: “Never mind.” Crowley isn’t sorry that she flubbed up. She’s only worried that she did so in such a flagrantly foul way that can be so easily discredited and is certain to cause blowback for her employer, CNN, which is already hemorrhaging viewership.

This would be more disconcerting, if not for the fact that the public has caught on to the Lamestream Media’s distortions. Even with Obama and Crowley forming a tag-team, Mitt Romney continues to win the confidence of more undecided voters. View the comments of undecided voters in post-debate focus groups assembled by two diametrically opposite networks — MSNBC and Fox News.

Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Next Media Animation scored the debate as a victory for Obama, hitting softballs from Crowley. Dig her muumuu and super-sized M&M sidekick.

CNN’s Crush on Ahmadinejad

CNN’s Piers Morgan fawns over Iranian despot Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, giving MSNBC’s Chris Matthews and Martin Bashir a run for their money on who could claim the title as the week’s most insipid media lapdog. Stephen Kruiser sizes up this stiff competition in the latest edition of Kruiser Control. H/T PJTV
