Obama told Fox News' O'Reilly that the IRS had "not even a smidgeon of corruption" when it gave liberal groups tax-exemption, but refused several groups that seemed, even in name, to be right-winged (like any "patriot" or "tea party" type of names). But as Breitbart reports:
"Obama's bold statement stands in contrast to established facts. Even the left-leaning journalism group ProPublica has admitted that the IRS office that harassed conservative tax-exempt groups during the 2012 election cycle gave ProPublica nine confidential applications of conservative groups whose tax-exempt statuses were pending. Moreover, ProPublica noted that the documents it received were "not supposed to be made public" but that "no unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica." "
~Wynton Hall, Breitbart
Of course, as Hall went on to note, in his interview, Obama blamed the almighty, all powerful (those are my words because it seems that to the Liberals, the power of W Bush, Limbaugh, and Fox News is unparalleled by any mere mortal), Fox News for daring to report about the corruption of the IRS. But if Fox News or Limbaugh (whom the left blamed a few times recently for their failures) is so powerful, then why didn't the GOP win the last two elections? Why did Obamacare get passed with little to no resistance from the GOP?
Obama's ticked off that any media with any sort of platform that hasn't been invited into the Obama circle of collusion, would have the "audacity" (to borrow Obama's word) to challenge his administration.
Like any dictator's.
Freedom of the press will not stand under Obama's rule. It gets in the way of his power.
