Read the link.Lawmakers: IRS Lost More Emails in Tea Party Probe - ABC News
Lost IRS Emails Irk McConnell - NBC News
There is a reason you should not believe MRC any more than you should Media Matters. It took me all of 2 minutes to fact check and find the story is false.

You should have added another minute and noticed that the link in the OP was dated June 16 and says this in the body:
ABC and NBC have failed to cover the story as of Monday June 16, and only CBS This Morning reported on the emails on Monday but their evening news program ignoring the IRS alongside ABC's World News with Diane Sawyer and NBC Nightly News
Your links were from the 17th.
No, I'm saying that as of June 16, which is what they said, neither network covered it. You posted links from June 17, which were the day after. So unless you have a link prior to June 16 from either ABC or NBC, or a clip from them reporting on air prior to June 16, then the facts in the OP are correct.
So you are saying his story is out of date already? Of course, it might also have to do with linking first search result. Here, for example, is the 14th: IRS Says It Lost Lois Lerner Emails in Tea Party Probe - NBC News, or from the 13th: Lawmakers Fume Over Lost Emails in IRS Probe - ABC News
There is another 2 minutes of fact checking. It is not hard., The first thing you have to do is stop believing everything you want to be true and actually look.
Never mind, he deleted the post.
Again from the OP:
ABC and NBC have failed to cover the story as of Monday June 16, and only CBS This Morning reported on the emails on Monday but their evening news program ignoring the IRS alongside ABC's World News with Diane Sawyer and NBC Nightly News.
Unless there is something missing, your links aren't to broadcasts on their evening news programs prior to June 16, which is what the OP was talking about.

He's a she, and she missed the links, but she caught her mistake and made a new post.
The link isn't about their websites. You should've read it before you tried to refute it, that way, you know what you're trying to refute.Let me quote again from the source article:
AS you can see, they in fact have.
My apology on the gender mistake.

Well, except for your articles headline and story. Both specifically state that ABC and NBC did not cover it, when in fact they did. I know, fact checking is hard, but it really helps you not make stupid mistakes like this.
Did Diane Sawyer and/or NBC Nightly News, the 2 broadcasts specifically mentioned in the OP, cover it before June 16 or not?
No stupid mistake unless you have clips from either show before June 16 proving the OP wrong.
Is Diane Sawyer and/or NBC Nightly News all that makes up NBC news and ABC news?

How much additional corroboration is required?
ABC and NBC have failed to cover the story as of Monday June 16
ABC, NBC Continue to Ignore IRS Claim That It Lost Two Years of Lois Lerner Emails
The story specifically states:
The headline:
I proved these to be false. End of story.
You didn't prove the story to be false. You didn't read the article and instead focused on the title. If you had read the article (which I believe the poster who posted it expected all of us to do before responding), you would see that so far, you have not refuted the claim made in the article.
