Re ‘Americans from all walks of life know’ -

Major fallacy. Americans who get their news from the lib media know NOTHING about Fast & Furious.

I have friends and relatives who have never heard of it. And if it makes Obama look bad, they don’t want to.

Don’t assume everyone knows what we know. They don’t and they want to stay that way. Find me a midwestern state newspaper that mentions it anywhere on the first page - I bet you won’t be able to. I am pretty sure the Dayton Daily has never mentioned it, if it has, it is buried somewhere.

I occasionally send lib friends articles about things that I know they will never know about otherwise. Mostly it just ticks them off (at me). They get their news from Politico and think Media Matters is the final authority.

You know how we conservatives just make things up.

A thread here on FR reported that NBC Nightly News had not carried one story about Fast & Furious during the entire year of 2011.

I emailed the local NBC affiliate asking them how many times stories about F & F had been aired on their station.

Their reply:

One time on a Thursday afternoon in November, they gave the date and time.

It was on their early edition of the evening news, due to the time slot that newscast does not have high ratings.

You nailed it. Americans who get their news from the lib media know NOTHING about Fast & Furious.

you got that right.

Most people I come across have no clue about this and reply”well I’ve not heard about this on the news are you sure?”

The MSM have a lot to answer for and for the DOJ the top or supposed top law enforcement to to do this and then take the 5th shows how corrupted this admin is but of course the MSM will ignore this as they always do when it makes the left look bad and the public never gets to know about it and the left keep their agenda going slowly but surely.
