Akron Beacon Journal Editorial Exemplifies Clueless, Lazy And Biased Media Coverage Of Fast And Furious

Posted on: September 22nd, 2012

My hometown paper, the Akron Beacon Journal, just weighed in on the Inspector General’s “Fast and Furious” report with expected media spin. Here’s my response:

Typical Beacon Journal regressive apologia. You people haven’t done one bit of original reporting on this story and now weigh in like you’re some kind of authorities. “No evidence” hardly means “exonerated,” it means the White House has blocked efforts to obtain it.

How many whistleblowers have trusted you and become sources, giving you exclusive and information and documentation to validate it? Guess who first used the term “pad statistics” in regards to Gunwalker? Who brought the whistleblowers to the attention of Sen. Grassley and then pressured Darrell Issa to get involved? Who did Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News turn to when she wanted to learn about this story? Who has filed and published results of FOIAs, steered committee investigators to witnesses, obtained exclusive interviews with key players (including the CI at the heart of “Operation Wide Receiver”), made public internal emails, been referenced in high-level discussions between ATF management and their Chief Counsel’s office…? Who first brought details of Fast and Furious to the attention of everybody, including the nexus to the death of a Border Patrol Agent?

    MY FELLOW AMERICANS: THE media hasn’t a clue as usual,they are told Lies and because they feel that the American People are fodder to make them Money they repeat and embellish on the Lies fed to them. The Weapons sent accross the border were given to the Most powerful Cartel in Mexico inorder to eliminate all their competition,and then deal with ther DEA and CIA, for it’s own purposes, the Gun dealers had NO CHOICE in what they did as they were threatened with loss of license,Jail,etc.. and the Highest Members of the Government knew all about it,Obama,Holder,Napolitano,etc ‘WAKE UP PEOPLE” top Drug cartel Leaders have reported this Publically to Our Government Officals and the Mainstream media burried it as USUAL. My Father always told Me ,Son Read between the lines in a newspaper,wipe Your ass with the rest of it and draw Your own conclusions from as many facts as YOU CAN FIND YOURSELF.
