Hey, remember that scandal about the Obama Administration using the I.R.S. to target its political enemies? Well, while I'm sure it will live on forever in the hearts of those who'll believe anything bad about a Democrat, we now see most mainstream Republicans retreating from it. New evidence shows that everything we heard about it at the outset was misleading or flat-out wrong and that there's no "there" there.

Which raises the musical question: If the press is supposedly so liberal, why did it jump all over this, declare a major, presidency-killing investigation for Obama, invoke the "i" word, etc.? Alex Seitz-Wald notes how many reporters reported things that haven't stood up to the slightest bit of skeptical inquiry.
