Five months after dropping coverage of the Internal Revenue Service scandal, ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday finally found time to allow a few seconds to mention the targeting of conservatives. CBS and NBC on Tuesday and Wednesday both ignored mentioning that the Obama administration is doubling down and now attempting to rein in non-profit groups, such as the Tea Party. GMA's Josh Elliott blandly noted, "In the wake of the IRS targeting scandal, the Obama administration wants to limit the political influence of tax-exempt groups." he added that the White House is seeking to impalement new "donation standards to curb the explosive growth in political spending." He added, "The IRS has been accused of unfairly scrutinizing groups affiliated with the Tea Party."
