The company that runs the conservative Breitbart.com news site says the IRS has selected the network for an audit, in a move company executives suggest is politically motivated.
Breitbart News Network, a California-based company which runs several conservative websites, says the IRS recently audited its 2012 financial information.
"The Obama administration's timing on this is exquisite, but try as they might through various methods to silence us, we will only get more emboldened,” Stephen K. Bannon, executive chairman of Breitbart News Network, said in a written statement.
In this case, it remains unclear whether the apparent audit of Breitbart News is anything out of the ordinary. The IRS conducts audits of tens of thousands of businesses every year.

I wonder whether the IRS had audited any pro AGW businesses or institutions.

By random probability the chances of being audited are about 1 in 6000 per year.
What is the probability of being audited three times in five years?
Times 20 years is a probability of 1 in 300.

And what is the probability of being audited in 3 times in five years? This happened to my Dad's company.
From what I read, this is the second time in 3 years, what is the probability of that?

Fox news reporting on breitbart reporting they are getting audited... Shocker that no one else picked this one up.
If they wanted to silence brietbart, they wouldn't use the IRS, they would use the FCC.
Unless they are trying to say the IRS is going to shut them down financially with tax audits, give me a break.

Can we stop with the political scandal baiting?

I mean, tens of thousands of businesses are audited every year. It happens once to the Breitbart company and suddenly it's 'targeting!'
