"It took the networks 13 days to run a single story" on the fact that Obama-appointed IRS chief counsel William Wilkins was "getting direct reports" on the IRS's review of conservative/Tea Party applications for 501(c)(3) status, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center (MRC) founder Brent Bozell told Blaze TV's Andrew Wilkow on the Tuesday edition of his Wilkow! program. Likewise, it took 15 days for the mainstream media to get around to covering the Obama/Holder Justice Department was "refusing to investigate any government employees who were improperly accessing tax records."

"This goes on and on and on. These are all breaking news stories that are leading to one of the largest scandals in modern American history where the most feared arm of government is completely abusing its rights, and it looks like it's coming from the Obama administration, and there's no coverage," Bozell concluded.

"I am sick and tired of not getting answers from my government when my government is abusing my freedoms," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell told the crowd at yesterday's Tea Party Patriots-organized "Audit the IRS" rally outside the U.S. Capitol. "It is time to tell this nation's top cop, Attorney General Eric Holder, it's time to go. Fire Eric Holder!" the Media Research Center founder and president added to cries of "Fire Eric Holder!" from the crowd.

Closing his brief remarks, Bozell also asked rally participants to thank the few media outlets that had showed up for doing so, but then to demand that "the national news media that have been aiding and abetting this censorship" of the IRS scandal to "do their jobs" and "report the story."
