lol @ “Driving”. What you mean to say is “Manufacturing”, “Creating”, or “Overblowing”. Objectivity is not neutrality.

And MSNBC and CNN find a bunch of urine-soaked leftwing college kids crapping on police cars and yelling in the streets about “greed” a far more important story than the potential lying to Congress by the attorney general of the United States who OK’d the sale of arms to Mexican drug lords that are now responsible for multiple deaths, including of a US border agent.

One network is actually interested in reporting on real news and not in hyping up an ongoing Obama campaign rally as if it’s something important for every American.

The others are MSNBC and CNN.

you don’t expect CNN and MSNBC to actually invesitigate a story that would bring shame to a president that they campaigned (past, present, and future) so hard for?

Count on the corrupt, liberal media to try to bury the story.  Nice try making it about Fox, Colby.  

MSNBC hasn’t mentioned it yet. I’m sure Fox has mentioned the Solyndra scandal far more often too. That happens when you shut out news that may damage your viewership. 

A lot of the MSM never heard about stories of corruption like ACORN , either .

The Solyndra grows worse for Obama day by day . His emails relating to it have been requested .

The Sunpower scandal and other failed green companies are now coming out . This was a 1.2 billion loan guarantee to another failing company ; and they’re producing the product in Mexico .

That says more about MSNBC and CNN than about Fox News…

“. . . FNC has covered this story ten times more than its cable news competitors, MSNBC and CNN.”

This might explain why FNC has ten times the audience to boot. It just drives ‘em nuttier everyday.

Proof that the lame stream media are invested in the incompetent community organizer and will do what is necessary to protect him!!

This whole situation is disgusting….the sad thing is most people on left have no clue what f-n-f even is!!!

Oh my, you mean to tell me that Fox news is trying to portray the Obama administration in a disreputable light?  I’m shocked….don’t I look shocked….I’m really shocked…..not.

this title seems misleading

my question is, what is the avg amt of news cover a story normally gets?

that would mean either fox news is doing overkill on it or MSNBC and CNN are below avg, either way to just say a news network covers a story more then another can be entirely misleading to the reality of the situation

One would think the lefties would be offended at the info shutout, you
know, “the echo chamber” but in this case it is a sensory deprivation
chamber, nothing to see/know here, move along. It’s called the mushroom
syndrome; keep ‘em in the dark, shovel ‘em some shit once in awhile.
Pathetic.

I’m pretty sure it’s a real story. This just proves that msnbc and cnn are in the pocket of the obama administration, that’s all. Always have been and always will support the liberal agenda. Shit, keith olbermann had to stay home to avoid reporting the lewinski story!

So, the complaint is that Fox is investigating a news item which caused the death of a border agent and some 200+ Mexicans?  I guess Fox should sit back and let them “crack a few eggs,” as it were?

Kind of like how the MSM has cover Republicans for 50 years. How do you think MSNBC would be covering this if Bush was still pres??? The same as they are now??? Are you going to sit there and assert that? Are you?

oh my, you mean to tell me that CNN and MSNBC is trying to cover-up from portraying the Obama administration in a disreputable light? I’m shocked

No shock here.  MSNBC is actively working on Obama’s reelection campaigin.  Covering F&F or Solyndra would throw a wrench into those plans.  Even MSNBCs commercials allegedly promoting MSNBC are actually reelect Obama campaign commercials.  It’s laughable that the lefties think Fox is biased.

We’re proud of our Congressman Issa.  It’s about time some seriousness broke through.

Don’t worry, the fair and balanced reporting on fox surely mentions bush’s role in this operation.

You missed the point of Colby’s story.  The outrage is that FOX IS reporting it, not that no one else is.  Come on, try to keep up!

Yes, they should help cover up the Obama administrations’ complicity in the murder of a Border Patrol agent.  Sheesh, liberals are stupid.

Under the heading of “Other stories the corrupt, liberal media is doing their best to ignore”:

DEM Congressman’s son lobbied for failing solar panel company

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=46761

Let’s redact that headline to read:

CNN & MSNBC Covering Up “Fast & Furious” ten times more than FOX!

If you want to see which headline more represents the truth, just ask yourself how the Democratic-Advocacy Media would have covered this had it been the BUSH White House!

heh-heh-heh

Good point. If msnbc or cnn dared to mention obama being tied to a scandal the far left loons would just bury their heads and switch over to the simpsons. All they care about is how “smart” obama is!

Fox deserves huge credit for this reporting as does Sharryl Attkinson at CBS.  The US Government accidentally yet directly  armed the drug cartels in Mexico putting dangerous weapons in the hands of dangerous, out of control drug cartels.   The cover up is clear, the question is when and how far up.

Yeah, a border agent is murdered by a Fast & Furious weapon, and the whole plan seems outrageously dangerous and dumb. Why not put RFID hidden on the weapons to ensure tracking , at the very least.  

When Holder eventually resigns, the NY Times will be surprised.   When white house officials yell at you, reporters know they’re on their way to a huge story.   FNC and SHarryl are doing what real reporters do, follow the story. 

Bush did not have roll in this. The operation was called “Wide Receiver” and the other agencies involved were informed as was Mexico.

How dare they…

Good post, but unfair to Sharryl Attkinson on CBS.  She’s done a good job, and as a result of her questions, and real reporting, obtained memos showing that Holder was briefed on Fast & Furious and clearly lied about it.  Not all the MSM is asleep at the wheel… 

http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7383343n&tag=mncol;lst;8

Obviously  if you are on the right you think the lamestream media is covering up the story and if you are on the left you think Faux News is pushing the story….and you are both right.

btw, I suggest the post is more about MSNBC and CNN ignoring the scandal, not about CBS and FNC doing their job.

Are the other networks afraid to cover this story? MSNBC’s Morning Joe spent the first 15 minutes this morning discussing the pastor who said the Mormon religion is a cult.  They also discussed the Republican candidates but they never discuss what’s happening in the BO administration.  What are they so afraid of and who are they afraid of?

it was created by the executive branch and not a media outlet.  lf you need proof just look for all the dead bodies ;)

Also just imagine the media attention going on this story if it occurred 4 years ago under Bush???

LOL @ T-baggers outraged over the death of 2 Americans.  Where was your outrage during Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths?  Isn’t it the NRA’s mantra that guns don’t kill people, deranged murderers kill people?  

You really don’t have a clue as to the importance of this story do you?

Our Government deliberately selling high caliber weapons to the Mexican cartel to be used in murders against thier citizens and ours and you think it is only an attack on Obama….Lord help this Country that we have so many ignoramuses like you!!

They’re afraid of the truth.

Stop using facts; you’ll confuse the liberal simpletons.

Lets see we have a dead American citizen border guard killed from guns that were given to the cartel from our own government and our top police officer lied about knowing it happened!

Are you F$^&$king crazy!!!! I am wondering why the other networks dont cover it more! THIS IS HUGE NEWS! 

The real story should be how our failed prohibitionist drug policies have led to the deaths of 40,000+ Mexicans over the past ~5 years. Of course, that’s too complex for a soundbyte and doesn’t have a fancy catchy name.

I agree with much of what you say, but I’m not sure it was “accidental”.

When you allow agents for drug cartels to purchase weapons, and then turn your back when those agents transport those weapons across the border, how “accidental” is it when those weapons end up at crime scenes?

The government knew who they were doing business with (and in some instances, directly funding);  they were doing business with the same people who have been turning the streets red inside Mexico the last decade.  It wasn’t accidental.  It quite clearly, was purposeful.

You realize every drug murder in Mexico is the direct responsibility of US public policy, right? I know connecting more than two thoughts at once can be a hassle, but think about it for a minute.

Exactly. It’s the epitome of “We Report, You Decide” in action. Whereas the others decide what not to report.

*drink*

This is why Fox News blows away the competition! They Question Authority like every news network should.

Colby has it backwards as usual.
These statistics only prove who is covering the scandal and who went into blackout mode.
So is Colby trying to say that the U.S. govt. arming Mexican drug cartels to the deaths of hundreds of people is some minor story that has run it’s course….?

I have a better idea.   Why doesn’t Colby compare how many times MSNBC said the words “Fast and Furious” against how many times they said “niggerhead”….?

The killing of an American border guard from guns that were supplied from our own government and lost and our top cop lied is not a big deal to you? 

Yet only one news network is telling Americans about it…. is not a concern to you? 

You rather we not question authority and sit back and be oblivious and blame the rich like your told too on all your problems I take it!

MSNBC’s  parent company is GE. GE received a $139-Billion loan guarantee from the Obimbo administration. Is it any wonder that MSNBC totes the line for the Obimbo administration?! Never bite the hand that feeds you!!

Where is the outrage from, La Voz De Aztlan, La Raza, Lulac?
Mexicans are dying no?

Colby your a complete moron! with implying that Fox should be like the other networks and not cover a killing of a american border agent! You should be upset the other networks are not reporting this more! 

I wasn’t around for Watergate, but I always wondered what it was like to watch Congress and the media bring down a White House administration.  As a political junkie, watching “Nixon”, “All the President’s Men”, “Dark Days at the White House” and “Frost/Nixon” is quite engrossing.  Let’s get this thing started, the movie script writers need more material.

Lets hope a documentary movie about “Fast and Furious”-gate will end with…
“…you won’t have Obama to kick around anymore…”

You are almost correct. It does have everything to do with US public policy, I know you would love to place that blame Obama. But every drug murder in Mexico is the the direct result of the AMERICAN DEMAND for coke and weed! End Nixon’s failed war War on Drugs and you will not only end the violence at  the border but the drug violence in cities throughout the country. I know connecting more than two thougts at once can be a hassle, but think about it for a minute.

Colby, you made a bad mistake on the headline.   Correctly, it should read: “MSNBC and CNN try to bury story of Holder’s Corruption”

Pretty sure he didn’t have a roll either. Think he avoids carbs.

I think MSNBC, CNN and the network news has covered F&F about right. They shouldn’t cover it until they absolutely have to cover it, and then when they do cover it, they should spend all their time defending Obama like they usually do.
It’s worked so far!

Since the program was started during the  Bush Administration(2006) I hope they get some of those Repub criminals in jail Sir.

When was the last time an Attorney General was subpoenaed? This has a much higher body count than Watergate.

I know you don’t want to hear it because it doesn’t reflect well on your messiah, but it’s news.

You people are so mean to Colby. Remember, this is his house so you should act like a guest.

They’re illegal in Mexico too, Pub. That’s why they keep either buying or killing the cops.

Morning Joe is the bestest Conservative in the world next to Jon Huntsman and Thomas Friedman.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me get this straight: Fox News is carpet bombing their network with a story that might affect a Democratic administration negatively? Has the world turned upside down?

Sharryl Attkinson was totally unfair and unreasonable to the White House. She deserved to get yelled at and sweared at.

There was no illegal invasion, and Bush went to Congress for authorization. How do you feel about Obama’s illegal war in Libya?

Guns don’t kill people but drug cartels do…especially when you give them guns.

If Obama did it, it has to be good, eh Tedderman?

Baaaaaa.

Fixed now debate the facts not spelling.

Well, there’s also the part with the DOJ lying to Congress about it.

In truth it’s the CONS who don’t have a clue about all the malfeasance which began under the corrupt Bush administration.  And whatever you do don’t mention that whole “Iraq” debacle the neo-con nin-com-poops started. 

Just you remember Miss Fancypants that Faux viewers are the most uninformed viewers. It’s true! I saw it in a poll somewhere years ago!

The question is: Is it newsworthy? Hell yes it is. EVERYONE agrees that this was moronic. The question now is who’s to blame for it.

Is that what faiz is telling you?

The headline is misleading. What it should be is “CNN and MSNBC covering Fast and Furious 10 times less than FOX News.”

They do need to legalize some of these drugs, prohibition special on PBS right now is very enlightening. Even alot of cops agree they’re wasting time on pot busts. And tying up the courts.

Uh, you guys are agreeing I think?

All roads lead to big sis, holder and to bidens chief of staff. Perp walk!

No, actually MSNBC reported that it was no big deal. So they did report on it, but basically not a real storey, and it started with, you guessed it, Bush.

We probably are…I’m come here looking for a fight sometimes…LOL!

Gee Colby are we suppose to be surprised by this. This is hardly worth a headline, it was and is a given.

Considering over 200 people have died in Mexico and 1,400 of the 2,000 guns are still unaccounted for, this scandal is not going away.

The administration wanted these  guns used to murder. Their motive was to make Americans outraged that mostly American guns were being used in the drug/border wars so they could get tougher guns laws passed. What else could be the motive if they didn’t even put tracking devices on these guns. The justice department has already promoted 3 ATF supervisors involved in this scandals from the Arizona office to cushy Washington D.C. jobs to keep them quiet.  It feels odd living in a country were 2/3rd of the press could care less about a corrupt administration because they believe in their dogma. It doesn’t matter that a American border guard and around 200 Mexican citizens have been murder using the guns the ATF allowed to walk with I believe Holders knowledge and approval . No operation of this size would have been allowed to operate unless someone very high up authorized it or they were all getting paid by the Cartels. Take your pick. Who ever authorize this operation is guilty of accessory to murder, period.

This administration is Marxist and the only thing that got in their way was Congress. Congress, while they were controlled by the democrats would not allow these hearings.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2011/09/28/fast-and-furious-just-might-be-president-obamas-watergate/

So you find dead American border guards killed with guns sold with the full support of the Obama administration as humorous? And I guess the Cartel gentlemen that behead, castrate, small skulls with hammers and shoot innocents mexican’s  are not deranged, they’re just angry because the government didn’t give them a receipt for tax puposes. And the death numbers in Iraq, killed by whom? Are those numbers better than the millions killed by Saddam Hussein in his ethnic cleansings. Just sayin, bozo.

And then try to point to American guns causing problem in Mexico!  What a COMPLETELY disingenuous argument for more gun controls here at home.

What about coverage on ABC and NBC?  They are under-covering this issue also.  Especially NBC.

Bush did it, Bush did it. Bush did it. Obama’s a loser, he’s surrounded with losers, and he’ll be available for your OWS gatherings as a featured speaker in about 14 months. But nice try, dem’s will be blaming Bush in 2050. 

swored at.?

Who watches the news to GET the news now-a-days? Anyone who watches MSNBC, CNN or Fox News are zombies. Do your own research.

If it ain’t on Mika’s twitter or text from the whitehouse, it’s ain’t worth reportin’

The outrage was written in spanish and nobody could interpret it, but they’re all pissed.

The weapons accidentally lost under Operation “Wide Receiver” now known as F&F are unfortunate but not in any way as costly or deadly as the LIE about Iraqi W.M.D.

Wait,wait, wait. Let me get this straight. MSNBC has buried evidence of a DOJ cover up, the attorney general may have perjured himself to Congress, and a CBS reporter is getting derided by the white house over the scandal and the MSM doesn’t really seem to care. No, the world’s just about right.

No stories since Friday on Fast and Furious from ABC and NBC on their nightly news.  None.  Not even after a huge document dump on Friday.

They won’t cover the news that doesn’t fit their left-wing agenda!!!

That two!

How can it be 10x more than what MSNBC has reported when MSNBC won’t report it?

could be both, fox could conducting overkill and the rest aren’t occupied with it enough, but would that honestly surprise anyone on this board?

Just another Fox-fueled nontroversy to keep our resident idiots, like GlovesDonahue, glued to Fox 24/7.

I agree. The mainstream media needs to cover all the anti-Obama stories I want covered 24 hours a day, or they’re part of the MSM-conspiracy. When I see an anti-Obama story, no matter how ridiculous, it needs to be covered to my satisfaction (meaning 24 hours a day) or they’re obviously just covering up for Obama. Now that I’m not a Birther anymore or convinced Obama is a Muslim, I’m  becoming a Solayndra-ite. And if the media doesn’t blanket their networks with this story  in the amount I personally demand, I will take my grievance to FoxNation.com, an anti-Obama website run by a major news network. They’ll cover the story to my satisfaction. 

Or…every drug murder in Mexico is the direct responsibility of every dirt bag in this country that buys illegal drugs that come from Mexico. Think about that.

As much as you libs want this to be a nontroversy, it’s not.  Holder flat out lied and needs to answer for it.  You libs used to be all about “frog marching”, what happened?  Oh that’s right, that was only when Bush was in office. 

Well, Redleaf, count yourself lucky..at least you have heard of the Fast and Furious scandal. That, apparently, is something that most MSNBC and CNN viewers can’t say,

So you believe in the ms. nbc sensory deprivation chamber, nothing to see/know here, move along.
It’s called the mushroom syndrome; keep ‘em in the dark, shovel ‘em some
shit once in awhile. Pathetic. Guess that would make you a mushroom. But hey on a lighter subject: http://www.youtube.com/user/machosauceproduction  you won’t be disappointed.

Yes, of course..there is no controversy in our own government selling guns to Mexican drug cartels that are then used to kill US law enforcement agents as well as hundreds of Mexican nationals. Happens every day, nothing unusual…the very epitome of a “non controversy”.

That means no deficating on the furniture. Tommy’s fan, you have to be specific.

And it is a surprise to who exactly that Fox is carrying water for the GOP? LOL

Fox News looking for a Democratic/Obama scandal is not surprising… it’s what they do and is what their viewers want!!

Though, someone should resign (not talking about Holder or Obama), because the idea to sell guns over the border and lose track of them sounds pretty stupid to me!!

So this is all about a policy that originated in 2005?  Hmmm

Tell us. How many? To whom? Where did they turn up? How many people died because of it?

Tell us, Tedderman. Because if Bush did it, it must be bad. And if Obama does the same thing Bush did, it must be good. Right?

Baaaaaaa.

No. Mediaite is trying to tell you that the pro-Obama MSNBC/CNN are not covering something which should be major headlines all over untill people at DOJ and ATF resign right and left.

Fact: Why not apologize to real Americans since that’s what MSLSD and liberals do! Kiss up to all that hate America and what it stands for!

Holder lied under oath. Liberal media hates the thought of him being Scooter Libby’s bitch.

Fact: No surprise that you’re coddling the wrong side
of the issue!

Sounds like a liberal loon is in denial that his Messiah is involved in the murder of Border Patrol agents.

Fact: I don’t want to work.All…  I want too do is bang on the drum all day! Liberal words of wisdom right trash bag1

Bush did exactly the same thing. How come HIS attorney general wasn’t subpoenaed? How come Fox News didn’t cover it then?

They don’t have to look for it. Issa sends out regular updates.

Why shouldn’t Holder resign?

No, it’s about a policy that originated in 2009.

Fact: Like Michelle Obummer stated we control all that the news reports!

No, Bush didn’t. If he had, would that make Obama doing it OK with you? Or is everything Obama does OK with you?

Fact: They can account for everything they did! Obama
and crew just sit back and deny everything they do!

Keith Olbermann was doing sportscasting in the 90s during the Lewinski story.

MSNBC has reported it at all?

Fact: My nurse forgot to bring my meds this afternoon and I managed to sneak out and use the sanitarium’s computer. It’s a fact!

Fact: I was silent about the dozens of Bush scandals during the 2000s so I really have no credibility at all in pointing the finger at Obama. It’s a fact!

If it shines a negative light on the chosen one it will be buried in the lame stream media!! It really is as simple as that! They will do anything to protect our incompetent community organizer!!

Well MSNBC and CNN viewers are obviously uninformed about Fast and Furious. Does that upset you?
And that poll you are talking about isn’t credible. They asked questions like “Did the stimulus package work” They said that the correct answer was ‘Yes’ so anyone who answered ‘No’ was called misinformed. A question like that does not have a yes or no answer …. it is more complex and that survey is VERY superficial.

I can just hear Sean Hannity trembling with fake outrage.  Obama the evil monster!!  BWAAAAAAAA!!!

Hannity will get a few specials out of this. LOL

Fox has a shameful record of cherry picking their scandals. They should have been all over the fact that Bush’s Iraq intelligence was badly misinterpreted, but instead they sat on their hands for six years, and thousands of Americans lost their lives needlessly.

Where was Fox News’s outrage then?

You’re such a pathetic sheep.

Faux Lies!
Down with Murdoch!

Consider us checked!!

Does this mean the ‘scary black people’ meme is out and this is the new one? I guess that since Fox is pushing Cain now that one was too hypocritical even for Fox.

Good! 
Behave like good guests! 
Use the OWS patriots as an example since Colby is a big fan of them and he’s making sure they get the proper, good media coverage they deserve.

CNN and MSNBC are still protecting Obama.

So you believe in the ms. nbc sensory deprivation chamber, nothing to see/know here, move along.
It’s called the mushroom syndrome; keep ‘em in the dark, shovel ‘em some
shit once in awhile. Pathetic. Guess that would make you a mushroom. But hey on a lighter subject: http://www.youtube.com/user/ma…  you won’t be disappointed.

I’m shocked at your take on the coverage of this story Colby. Why is it FOX’s fault that they are the only network doing their job correctly on this story?
 
Even if Holder is exonerated, and everything the justice department did was correct, just the fact that its under investigation is newsworthy. Therefore it seems the only network that is giving the appropriate amount of coverage to this story is FOX.
 
So your question shouldn’t be “why is FOX covering the story” but “why ISNT this story getting airtime at CNN & MSNBC?”

The majority of Democrats were then also “pathetic sheep”, assclown.

Hmmmm, how often did they/do they report on OPERATION WIDE RECEIVER

I’m sure Issa does send out regular updates to the program managers at Fox News!!

More of a link has to be made between “Fast & Furious” and Holder for him to resign… whoever was immediately in charge should go… I’m not sure that was Holder!!

No, he wasn’t.

Obama and Holder are going DOWN.

I disagree!! I think whoever was in charge of the “Fast & Furious” operation should resign!! I think we can both agree it was a stupid idea!! I refuse to defend it!!

“Olbermann also split from his MSNBC program called “The Big Show” in
1998, reportedly because he was upset over excessive coverage of the
Monica Lewinski story.”

Meanwhile the other “networks” are busycovering important stuff like Mitt Romney’s religion, defecation on Wall Street and Herman Cain’s “blackness”
You just gotta’ laugh!!!

We’ll see…
I doubt that Bob Woodward and Carl Berstein thought that they would take down Nixon, when they first heard about the break-in at the Watergate.

Nixon didn’t actually do it, but he got burned for trying to cover it up.

Fox News is hardly driving the news about F&F, it is much more like the other LSM has chosed to  completely ignore the story.  But F&F is fixing to blow wide open.

Gunwalker: Issa reveals DEA involvement.Pajamas Media ^ | 11 October, 2011 | Bob Owens “It was a joint operation in which DEA knew more than ATF.” It was a brutal weekend for the Obama administration: Gunwalker continued unraveling at a faster pace, with new developments suggesting that Attorney General Eric Holder may not be the only Obama appointee destined for a political fall and possible criminal charges. In an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa revealed for the first time that the Drug Enforcement Administration was far more involved in running the operation than the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives: It wasn’t an ATF operation. They were part of that. It was a joint operation in which DEA knew more than ATF. This directly conflicts with prior statements by DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart — she claimed that the DEA only played a supporting role and that her DEA agents in El Paso and Phoenix were only “indirectly involved in the ATF operation through DEA-associated investigative activity.” She further absolved her agency by claiming that “DEA personnel had no decision-making role in ATF operations” associated with Fast and Furious. The DEA’s higher-profile role will not absolve ATF personnel for their roles in carrying out the plot politically, but it could potentially make a difference in future criminal proceedings if ATF agents on the front lines of the operation thought they were participating in a legitimate law enforcement operation. Unfortunately for the Department of Justice, the higher level of collusion between different federal law enforcement agencies that report to the attorney general make it even more unlikely that Eric Holder and other senior DOJ personnel were unaware of the real goal of the operation. Issa’s committee is in the process of preparing subpoenas for members of the Obama administration to try to find out who authorized the operation, and to ask why they have not been forthcoming if they believed the operations to be legal: Why are they denying knowing about something that they were briefed on? … Exactly when, the American people want to know, how did it happen? Issa also revealed for the first time the magnitude of the largest individual gunwalking incidents, noting that one effort involved the shipment of 700 guns to the Sinaloa cartel. Issa continued: This is about Justice Department knowing, and this is where the American people have a right to know more, knowing that these guns were deliberately intended to end up in the hands of the drug cartels without any kind of traceability, except if you find a gun in the scene of the crime. That is the reason that it is felony and stupid — and I use the word “felony” deliberately — program. A massive stockpile containing dozens of Operation Fast and Furious weapons was recovered in Mexico at an arsenal hidden in the Ciudad Juarez home of Sinaloa cartel enforcer Jose Antonio Torres Marrufo. The raid occurred on April 30; the revelation that 40 of the guns were from the gunwalking plot constitutes breaking news and confirmation that the plot worked as designed. Mexican politicians and media are far more enraged than their complacent U.S. counterparts. One op-ed asked if the U.S. should be considered an “ally or enemy.” Mexico’s Attorney General Marisela Morales, who stated that more than 200 Mexican citizens have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons, referred to the Obama administration plot as “an attack on Mexicans’ security.” The mainstream media, perhaps fearing even more damage to their credibility and bottom line, finally started covering the scandal late last week. A sad example of this me-too, late-to-the-game journalism is David Jackson’s article at USA Today — four paragraphs of current information grafted onto a nine-paragraph blockquote from an existing CBS News article. House Republicans showed no sign of backing down. One of the most outspoken on this scandal, Rep. Paul Gosar, continued to blast the administration: Gosar told The Daily Caller that “In Main Street America, you’d never get away with” dissembling about the gun-walking program, and that in different circumstances, ”the people who’ve been responsible would’ve already been in jail.” A bipartisan group of ten Arizona sheriffs (5 Republican, 5 Democrat) has called for a special counsel to investigate the gunwalking operations, joining House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith and a number of others. Mike Vanderboegh, one of the bloggers who broke open the scandal, is continuing a detailed series of articles that increasingly point to a State Department role in setting up these gunwalking operations. Vanderboegh’s sources within the Department are the first to name names, including: Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, and Andrew J. Shapiro, Clinton’s assistant secretary for political-military affairs. State insiders apparently referred to the gunwalking plot as “the Mexican Hat Dance,” and claim the goal of the plot was, as we’ve indicated before, to support the 90-percent lie. With State and DOJ coming under fire, it seems only a matter of time before evidence comes forth to implicate Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the person that would have been most integral in supporting this plot. Operation Fast and Furious took place in Arizona, where Napolitano had been governor and her former chief of staff, Dennis Burke, was the U.S. attorney theoretically in charge of the multi-agency task force. In the interim, Holder’s letter attacking the messenger last week was returned with even greater force by Issa in a letter which pulled no punches: Mr. Attorney General, you have made numerous statements about Fast and Furious that have eventually been proven to be untrue. Your lack of trustworthiness while speaking about Fast and Furious has called into question your overall credibility as Attorney General. The time for deflecting blame and obstructing our investigation is over. The time has come for you to come clean to the American public about what you knew about Fast and Furious, when you knew it, and who is going to be held accountable for failing to shut down a program that has already had deadly consequences, and will likely cause more casualties for years to come. Operation Fast and Furious was the Department’s most significant gun trafficking case. It related to two of your major initiatives – destroying the Mexican cartels and reducing gun violence on both sides of the border. On your watch, it went spectacularly wrong. Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility. With three cabinet-level secretaries and their staffs involved in a plot to create a murderous reality to match White House rhetoric, it seems only a matter of time before subpoenas are directed to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2790968/posts

That was a sincere attempt to track guns going to Mexico. Fast and Furious only pretended to.

Fox has had 10 times as much coverage simply because MSNBC and CNN are ignoring it. Why would a news operation ignore a huge story like this? Just like Fox was a cheerleader for Bush, MSNBC and CNN are cheerleaders for Obama, and they all know this is bad news for Obama.

I was a little kid at the time, but didn’t Nixon know about the Watergate break-in before it was going to happen??

Long story short, G. Gordon Liddy (a total dumb ass) general counsel to the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CRP), and a bunch of Nixon aides (a long list, also including the A.G., BTW) devised and executed the plan.  When it went bad, they told Nixon, who then tried to cover it up.

Ive noticed Fox never talks about the fact the Bush administration had a program just like fast and furious called wide reciever.  Typical bias coverage by Fox never mentioning the fact that fast and furious was just a continuation of policies that the Bush administration had implemented.

It was mentioned on O’Reilly…but the point is….Holder LIED and People DIED…..Therein lies the story
Get the whole story before you make accusations, Bobby.

why do you hide like a union contribution?

Fast and Furious should be broadcast.  Why do the other channels feel it shouldn’t be.  It’s a big story..you don’t feed Mexico with guns….no matter who you are.  Fox has been top rated and that really burns those who feel they shouldn’t be.  Hence, your reason why they are!! Holder isn’t beyond punishment…however it will be interested to see what happens in this case. Most of the white house cases only get a hand slapping.

The “tea” clowns don’t even see the fact that, if the other networks run a story 50 times and “Fox” tea network runs the same story 150 times,… “Fox” are the ones off the deep end! Keep inside the “tea” bubble and turn the light off!

Over report,… from mid level…… to earth changing bomb shell! (or so Fox hopes)

You should finish one “conspiracy” before you start another! So far, few have panned out!

Obama is smart in his own eyes only.  The guy is inepted at president. Is egotistical and arrigant. He doesn’t care about anything but himself. We are all in a sad country right now.

Not an accident! Wrong yes!   

Not an accident! Don’t stand on that when the white coats are near!

saying Fox news is not top rated is envy from the others news channels. they aren’t afraid of the junk in the White House. Being afraid of Obama and his staff is the worst way to be right now.  He needs to know what people think of him.

Wow! You should glad you live in America!

It “has” been often covered on other networks. Stop the lie. Has “Fox” over covered yes!

Wrong!

That stings, but you’ve always got spin!

This was a program Bush started:  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/10/05/earlyshow/main20115824.shtml?tag=contentBody;cbsCarousel

Right! Don’t open the door inside the “tea” bubble.

Yeah, that’s factual! A “tea” will lie,……errr say anything!

Yeah….Bush started it and when he was in the White House….nobody died because he was in control.
Obama is too busy with beer summits, golf games and campaigning to even care.
Holder….well he’s just an incompeteng lying slob racist.
And you’re a moron.

Mama always said, “stupid is as stupid does.”

why are you lazy like a union leader?

If it was up to the MSM and this Administration, no one would hear about it, someone has to tell the truth and the rest of the news stations aren’t doing it, they are too busy fighting over who gets to gooble Hussein pecker!  This administration, especially Obama and Holder, have the deaths and blood of innocent Mexican and American citizens on their hands and they need to pay the price of being so lowlife and corrupt!  It would be proper to see both in prison for the rest of their natural lives!

 Stay ignorant moron

“Manufacturing”? Really? Are you saying there is no issue here which needs to be looked into? Are you saying the msm playing this down (would they bury this if it were a REPUBLICAN in the WH) is in the best interest of the American citizenry?

The liberal media is well known for propping up the Left by under reporting and plain NOT reporting anything which negatively effects the party on the Left.

With the electronic media now in full force the left has totally lost their most important weapon, that of being able to control the news and the message.

The scandals are lined up and for the left it is a perfect storm and not a good one. We have the fast and furious debacle, we have Solyndra and we have another one called “Light Squared” which was handed TWICE as much as the failed SOLYNDRA

“In this case, the company owner happens to be a big Democratic Party donor. And in the pursuit of giving preference to a specific company, the White House
undercut a legendary four-star general and potentially undermined U.S.
national security. Adding fuel to the explosive story: at one time President Obama was a personal investor, with $50,000 of his own money.

The company? It’s called LightSquared. And you’re likely to hear more about it in the future. It includes the White House
overruling the Pentagon, endangering the American GPS commercial
marketplace and playing favorites to a single company — all to please a
well positioned Democratic donor and advance an Obama pet project.”

This Administration is by far the most corrupt we have had to date and finally Americans have awakened to the truth as is reflected in the abysmally low poll numbers we are seeing.

But this doesn’t happen with FNC because they report ALL the news, good bad or otherwise for BOTH PARTIES.

This is the reason they have ratings which are TRIPLE THE COMBINED RATINGS OF CNN AND MSNBC.

Fast and Furious should be broadcast.  Why do the other channels feel it shouldn’t be?
******************************************************************

Obviously because it is bad news for Obama and the media is all in for this loser and has been since a year before the election in 2008.

Now they are stuck with their 3 years of lies on his behalf as well as all the coverups and have no choice but to stick with him, even it destroys them in the end.

Geez, you sure hit the nail on the head!! We’d be seeing hourly updates on all the network channels as well as 7/24 coverage on the cables.

Isn’t it the job ot the media to report things of consequence?  Thousands of guns got into the hands of Mexican thugs, and one of our Border Patrol agents was killed by one, yet you are basically slamming Fox for “over-reporting” this?   Why not slam the other two cablers for UNDERREPORTING?

And where the hell is the mainstream media on this?  No mention whatsoever of how any of the print media, or ABCCBSNBC, has covered this?  Maybe because they haven’t? 

Instead, we have idiots like F. Chuck Todd and Savana driving around in a cab doing karaoke, and we’re supposed to yuk it up with them.  Journalism at its finest.

I think what it actually means is that the MSM is ignoring the story as much as possible.  Thank God for Fox for keeping us abreast of what is REALLY going on.  Contrary to liberal spin, this IS a BFD and deserves attention.

No, it means that we are getting the whole story and not just what fits in the left agenda.

Wow, another deep “bagger”. I notice I wasn’t corrected. What “teas” blindly can’t see inside their “tea bubble” is when ”Fox Tea Network” overkills a story with their party bias,….. that overkill is not,…”under” reporting by other networks!

Wide Reciever is a different op but tied to f-n-f…wow, know the differance. Under Bush the guns were stopped BEFORE they got across the border, and people were arrested. Under Obama’s F-N-F, agents were TOLD to step down and LET the guns walk across the border. Never to be seen again untill they would start showing up at murder scenes. It was done for propaganda reasons. They KNEW people would die. So I would say this is premeditated murder. And I can’t wait to see what those emails and docs from Hillery and HLS had to say about it. Yes, you heard me, Hillary is involved too.

so the attorney general of the USA, either approved of a program which sent 2000 weapons illegally into another country, which may have caused hundreds of deaths, or has no knowledge or control of the agency under his leadership . and this is not a big story?, put down your pipe or bong , you need your last brain cell

with the heat on Holder, anyone find the murder plot story, just a little convenient

Spin, spin, spin,…a “teas” favorite pastime! This is “tea” vomit on two fronts, 1.) the subject was, do other networks run the same stories of merit that “Faux” News (rarely) does,… the anwswer with “merit” is yes they do! That was the point! 2.) By you’re logic, if one believes in executions,… they are for murder!? Do you mean the program Bush started, the program that you shamelessly quote false numbers of people losing their lives? Maybe you mean, going into a “made up” war losing thousands of lives (factual) for lack of facts! Don’t get to happy or up in arms! Bush and his crew are still walking around!

Let’s see if we have this right: Laurie’s a moron for showing you a link to a simple news report, and you’re NOT a moron because you think “nobody died” while Bush was in control?  Well, except for the 1358 domestic law enforcement deaths from 2001-2008 (http://www.nleomf.org/facts/officer-fatalities-data/year.html) or the 4200+ troops killed in Iraq, or the 110,000 civilian deaths, and on, and on, and …. well, you’d get the idea. If you could.

Yeah. It was a stupid idea. And you’re a moron.
