Oh boy! And all it took was a scandal in a Republican’s administration:
.@peterbakernyt isn't the burden for him to prove he didn't create an atmosphere where underlings thought this was okay? #TweetThePress

Just on its surface, Gregory’s tweet is asinine enough:
!! RT @davidgregory .@peterbakernyt isn't the burden for him to prove he didn't create an atmosphere where underlings thought this was okay?

But when you consider that Gregory didn’t seem to feel that way about anything that happened on President Obama’s watch, his hackery grows exponentially:
Maybe I'm not a supersmart reporter like you, David. But how does one prove a negative? Also, IRS. Go. @davidgregory @peterbakernyt

.@davidgregory @peterbakernyt Isn't the burden on Obama to prove he didnt create an atmosphere where IRS/EPA/etc would target opponents?

Hey, @DavidGregory, I'm looking, but I can't find the tweet where you say the burden is on Obama RE: IRS abuse. Can you link it? Thanks.

@SaintRPh @davidgregory @peterbakernyt I second the question. Ask the same question of Obama & the NSA, IRS, EPA, DOJ and on & on!

.@davidgregory @peterbakernyt Hi David.. Hey show me where you asked burden of proof was on Obama for creating the IRS targeting scandal..
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) January 9, 2014
Gee. He can’t recall. But maybe that’s because he’s still got his own burden to deal with:
@RBPundit I forget, what's the burden on proving you didn't violate DC gun laws on film? @davidgregory

Remember this?

What a colossal joke.
Breaking: @davidgregory is still a biased douche pretending to be a news guy.
