Breitbart on why the media tends to ignore Fast and Furious(Video)
dailycaller.com ^ | 18 February, 2012 | Ginni Thomas

Posted on 02/20/2012 7:27:48 PM PST by marktwain

The Operation Fast and Furious scandal is one that the establishment media refuses to cover fully, conservative media icon Andrew Breitbart said in a recent interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas.

Fast and Furious happened, Breitbart explained, “for the purposes of creating a narrative that they could use in America to try and thwart our Second Amendment constitutional rights. I don’t think the most sinister screenwriter could imagine a government that would abide by that, let alone the media to cover that up.”

To complete the analogy first you have to imagine that the Watergate burglars went in with sub-machine guns and mowed down a bunch of hotel staff and guests. Or set off a bomb and killed a couple dozen people. Mostly because they could not because they needed to. Then we can move on to the media refusing to cover it and calling people partisan hacks for bringing it up.

We now live under a full blown gangster government. They don't even wince when called on it they laugh and mock the ones who bring it up.

“....conservative media icon Andrew Breitbart...”

####

And the “conservative” adjective is necessary exactly why?

Very true. It’s orders of mag worse than Watergate, hence the MSM collusion in coverup is orders of mag more evil, and critical to the success of Gangster Govt Inc.

Why is it that every sector in our society is subject to upholding certain ethical professional standards and can be sued for malpractice EXCEPT for the media? It is outrageous that they allow themselves to be controlled by this WH. What the hell is going on? It’s like the Stepford Media.

At the time I thought the Clinton years were jaw-droppingly corrupt. Now that seems like distant memories of halcyon days filled with college pranks.

A little real estate theft here a little drug running there. A little stock manipulation here a little murder in the park there. A little BJ in the Oval Office here a little dead cat on the porch there. A little ICBM tech to China here a little foreign campaign cash there.

Ah, well, here's to those innocent days of petty crimes and single body counts performed by private contractors not Federal LEAs leaving truck loads of corpses in their bureaucratic wake.

All dictators keep pushing with small steps, waiting to be pushed back hard. When they are not, they advance, ratchet-like, toward tyranny.

This is the Hugo Chavez method, in slow-mo.

Bingo! The MSM are not followink orderss. German Sergeants had that excuse. German Corporals had that excuse. The MSM can’t use that excuse.

A lot of ground has been covered but so far no real push back at all.

He walked into Paris and took it without so much as a pistol. No one reported it. He took down the Eiffel Tower and put up an iron Swastika even bigger. No one has noticed it yet. The skies are filled with war planes and the seas are covered with battle ships. The weather report is 'sunny today with a chance of light showers tomorrow.' Republicans are grouchy because their spending bills are being rejected. Spring will be here soon and baseball season will start. Snookie's a slut.

The vast majority of voters are not even paying attention until the last few weeks prior to the election. Sad, but true.
