In case you’ve forgotten, “real journalists” are Smarter Than You™. Huffington Post political editor and White House correspondent Sam Stein reminded us of that today:
Why is the IRS scandal a thing again?

Very nice. Maybe he’s genuinely curious, or maybe he’s just trolling. Either way, he’s a pretty lame excuse for a journalist.

But conservatives are givers, and so they graciously answered Stein’s question anyway:

@samsteinhp the IRS admitted that it targeted groups with “Tea Party” or “patriot” in their names. How's that?

Note to Stein: Any time you’re wondering why an Obama administration scandal is “a thing” on people’s minds, just remember this:
@samsteinhp @instapundit Because your trust in the O administration's `investigation' is naive?
