Over the weekend the Univision network broke major news in the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal. They found 57 previously unreported guns used in crimes by Mexican cartels, but ABC, CBS and NBC have yet to report the Spanish-language network’s findings. There were zero mentions on Sunday night’s ABC's World News and CBS's Evening News (NBC's Nightly News was pre-empted by Ryder Cup coverage) or on any of Monday’s morning shows. The blackout on ABC’s broadcasts is particularly confounding since they have an excerpt from Univision's report on ABC's official Web site.
The refusal by ABC, CBS or NBC to report the findings is remarkable since the Univision report not only contains politically explosive information to a sitting administration at the height of the election season but also compelling human tragedy. Univision’s Gerardo Reyes and Santiago Wills reported “Indirectly, the United States government played a role in the massacre” of 14 Mexican teens in a one-story house by “supplying some of the firearms uses by the cartel murders.”
The lack of coverage by the Big Three (ABC, NBC, CBS) networks continues their trend of mostly ignoring major events in the scandal that has led to calls for Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation. . .

The CEO’s of these outfits have undoubtedly had their “midnight knock on the door” from the White House and theDOJ...maybe its about time the had a midday wake up call from We the People.
And, this is a surprise to whom??
There is a ready-made political commercial here (regarding the kids getting murdered with F&F guns) that would devistate Obama and company.
The most insidious power the MSM has is the power to not report.

They pleasure themselves by believing that if they don’t mention something no one will know about it.
If only this could somehow be blamed on George Bush. /s
But Mark Shields and Nina Totenberg chuckle at any suggestion the MSM might not be 100% true blue fair & balanced?
I predict that if Obama wins in November and the the economy collapses, the media, pressed by their own financial interests, will really turn on him and drive him out over some minor scandal that they’ll blow up into another Watergate as only the media know how.
Doesn’t NBC own Univision now? Or is that Telemundo?
ABC owns Univision.
Isn’t NBC owned by Comcast?
Nearly every time they are asked about it the Obama team starts off by referencing Wide Receiver and they never add that WR involved far fewer weapons, was coordinated with the mexican government, and was terminated when the prior administration determined that it wasn't working.
Wake me when the “respectable” conservatives start to question .the legitimacy of the left wing media centers
I checked out ABCNews.com website and they have the Univision link on it’s home page, but down in the “Politics” section.
The one member of the media who has been reporting on Fast & Furious has been Sharryl Attkisson of CBS News.
I follow her on TWITTER, so I’m not sure how much of her reporting on this case actually makes it on the air.
