The part of this which still irritates me is the news still gives them credit for good intentions even now that it is pretty clear that they were not trying to trace guns.

Exactly the point I made in my #15. Those news stories might end up robbing the investigation of any impact or any ability to show the statists up for what they are. People might walk away from this at the end, if they have any impression at all, it might be that this was a noble idea with a flawed implementation. And the honest guys at the lowest levels, who are actually the heroes of the story, might end up the ones everyone assumes screwed up.

You are exactly right and there is no doubt that the media know what they are doing.

They are consciously giving cover even while making just enough noise to claim they are reporting it.

Yes, as well as Drudge not headlining any F&FGate stories.Why wait for Holder to resign and Obama to be impeached? Keeping in mind that in order to call the POTUS to the committee for questioning I think it would have to be an impeachment? OR could a sitting POTUS give a sworn deposition?

Reporters would investigate and report.
Propaganda, official or tacit, avoids/spins the material as needed lest reprimands occur.

Last night O’Reilley was asking the question of how the jury could possibly find Anthony not guilty when two FBI “experts” testified against her. For all the intellectual people who appear as guests none of them said a peep about Americans rapidly increasing loss of trust in our law enforcement agencies. Is it deserved?
