Joe Scarborough and his fellow “Morning Joe” Republicans, Michael Steele and Nicolle Wallace, mocked The New York Times and The Washington Post Tuesday morning for the low priority they’ve placed upon reporting the IRS scandal. Scarborough sarcastically pored over the morning’s edition of the Times in search of an article on the matter; news that the agency tardily informed Congress of missing emails between former official Lois Lerner and outside administration employees, subsequent news that the crashed hard drive on which these emails were stored had been recycled, and the fallout, including House committee hearings and calls for a special prosecutor, have certainly provided plenty of material. Scarborough couldn’t find a story.
But Mika Brzezinski did — on page 19, a place of surefire prominence.
