Gunwalker equals Watergate times Irancontra.

If anybody ever doubted the bias of the MSM, their collusion in the coverup, instead of reporting the story, is all the proof they need.

I disagree. No Americans were murdered as a result of Watergate (a bungled burglary) or Irancontra.

People are dead as a direct result of Gunwalker, at least one being a Border Patrol Agent. People need to be criminally charged over this, and I'm NOT talking about the gun store owners. There need to be serious prison terms involved here.

You got that right! This is the end result of the mindset of the MSM, perfectly expressed by Time Magazine years ago when they were deluged with mail by outraged readers objecting to the biased "Death By Gun" issue (and the associated HBO show.) For anyone who's forgotten the travesty from 1989, here's Time Magazine's official response:

"The July 17 cover story is the most recent in a growing number of attempts on the part of TIME editors to keep the gun availability issue resolutely in view. Such an editorial closing of ranks represents the exception rather than the rule in the history of the magazine ... But the time for opinions on the dangers of gun availability is long since gone ... . As we see it--and as we indicated in the report--our responsibility now is to confront indifference about the escalating violence and the unwillingness to do something about it."

I guess the MSM is OK with the federal government arming international criminal cartels, and are willing to accept the murders of countless innocent civilians and American law enforcement officers, as long as it leads to the disarmament of law abiding US citizens. How sick is that?!?!

We need to come up with a better description that "bias". It seems so much more active than that, yet so much of what we see comes from a willing, even proud ignorance. So much is agenda driven. Bias covers it, but is there better term? Malicious or malevolent don't quite seem to fit, ignorant isn't strong enough.

Anthony Martin came up with this phrase:

"pompous pimps of progressive propaganda"
