A news story that should have -- or would have -- garnered more coverage by major news organizations failed to achieve its proper attention thanks to the frenzy over the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria's murderous rampage, the media's obsession with football star Ray Rice's domestic violence story, and the media's knee-jerk protection of a failed President Barack Obama. In fact, not one Sunday morning news show even mentioned how the Justice Department attempted to conspire with a Democrat lawmaker to allegedly sabotage the probe of the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative nonprofit organizations.
According to a letter from the House Oversight Committee's leader, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, a top member of Attorney General Eric Holder's staff, Brian Fallon, is accused of accidentally telephoning House Oversight Committee chairman's office to ask for help leaking fabricated stories about the IRS’s scrutiny of conservative groups to news outlets. Fallon allegedly thought he had telephoned the office of Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, who is also on that same committee and who has been extremely vocal on behalf of the IRS and Justice Department claiming there is no scandal.
