Will the liberal press ever go after Obama for all of his scandals like they did President Nixon?

Obama has even done far worse than President Clinton who was impeached. Tapping into phone records, using IRS to go after Republicans, lies about Libya , lies about fast and furious refusing to turn over records,HOW LONG DO WE PUT UP WITH THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY; He refuses to enforce our immigration laws ignores the Constitution.

Update:

I notice you liberals never said a word about Obama more corrupt than Bill Clinton and Imention how Obama is worse than him and was impeached

    Of course not. For one thing, there are few real journalists anymore like there were when Nixon was president. Second, the media is in the tank for Obama, so to turn on him would to them seem like cannibalism.

    Has anybody found anything that directly links President Obama with those scandals like the tapes that directly linked President Nixon with the Watergate scandal? Until someone does, there is no proof that Obama did anything like what Nixon did.

    Just bringing up scandals in an administration isn't enough. I am sure if the press ever gets a whiff that Obama left a smoking gun around, they will nail him.

    Not in a million years.

    -How Americans saw the mainstream media (TV and print) election coverage in 2008: Rasmussen poll -- 69% for Obama, 6% for McCain; Pew Research poll -- 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain; Sacred Heart University poll -- 68% for Obama, 9% for McCain; Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll -- 67% for Obama, 11% for McCain; U. of Cal. Department of Public Policy survey of journalists nationwide during the 2008 election -- 52% supported Obama, 19% McCain.

    -9/2009 Sacred Heart U. Poll: 69.9% saw national news media as promoting the Obama presidency while 26.5% disagreed.

    -8/15/12 Rasmussen Poll: 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe the media favored Obama, 18% Romney.

    -Number of Republican president candidates the New York Times endorsed since 1960? Not one.

    6/1/13 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/%E2%80%A6: In a Gallup Poll released in the heart of the gun control debate last April (after months and months of hysterical coverage), only 4% of Americans saw gun control as a priority.

    -The pro-democrat media has ten times more viewers than pro-Republican Fox News (5/25/11 huffingtonpost.com).

    Here's an example of the media's objective "news":

    -5/5/13 http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppa%E2%80%A6

    DAN RATHER: All of these things we’ve said about what the president could do, should do, might have, could have, but the central thing to keep in mind is his opponents - you talk about taking them out to dinner, making nice with them - these people politically want to cut his heart out and throw his liver to the dogs. That does make it very, very difficult to come on nice to them.

    CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Yeah, it causes indigestion over dinner don’t you think?

    Honey, these are not scandals. These are manufactured, trying to be made to look like scandals.

    Except the phone records thing, that is absolutely unexcusable, it was when Bush did it and it is now. And Congress is also to blame for authorizing the PATRIOT act which makes these data mining operations "legal". And sorry to burst your happy little conservative bubble, but liberals are going after this all-out.

    You of course don't care, since when you say President Obama refuses to enforce our immigration laws you are ignoring the statistics that he has deported far far more illegal immigrants than previous administrations. Please, don't let the facts get in the way of your fantasy hahaha.

    Just like trying to start a fire doesn't work well with wet and damp wood...the press was very damp and wet...after going down on Obama during the 2008 election ("tingle down my leg" anyone?). However after 5 years the numerous scandals have started to dry out the press...and finally I'm starting to see some kindling in the press start to catch. However some of the larger pieces (like NBC) have sat damp and wet for so long that it might take something larger than the scandals so far to dry them out and catch them on fire.

    "We need the Liberal ideology as much as Custer needed another Indian!"

    They know so much that isn't so. Liberals are so opened minded their brains may have fallen out.

    The Liberal ideology is a theory , fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and which holds forth beliefs that have no basis in reality.

    Highly doubtful. The liberal media, by the very fact that it has a liberal bias, is in bed with a certain President.

    Maybe..it depends on how much evidence the Patriots in the government can uncover. I'm sure it's hidden really well. Obama is not a stupid man, he is very devious and im sure he's covered his tracks well.

    The magnitude of Nixon's crimes weren't the same.

    You're basically stuck in a conservative sphere where you swallow such gross exaggerations whole.

    His "scandals" aren't even close to reagan's
