ABC, CBS & NBC Blackout! Major New Findings in Fast & Furious Scandal Ignored
NewsBusters ^ | Oct. 1, 2012 | By Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 10/01/2012 1:37:38 PM PDT by Brad from Tennessee

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. . .

Pat Caddell slams the media: They have become an “enemy of the people” (video 26:00)

The media as it is has to be destroyed. No other political fights can be won until the press is completely exposed, discredited and humiliated for being just what Pat has called them out to be. Enemies of the people. It has to be the number one fight or all else is lost.

Does this mean that CNN reported on this? I’m shocked!

I found an early morning article which was translated into English. The problem I had, every time I tried to add my response my computer froze with an error message and each time I attempted the same thing happened. I had to restart and try again. Never did get to make a comment. Guess that’s censorship.

Yeah, Beck was all over this on his TV show today. The obamamedia is helping Beck make another fortune.

As for another topic they refuse to cover, I need to buy another muzzie blaster, just in case.

I think this is a big mistake.
Univision probably has bigger ratings than the top four US News outlets not including Fox.
Fox News would be smart to interveiw some of the Univision’s reporters about F&F.
Like I said on another post give them their own hour. Shlep Smith’s time slot..:)

[I checked out ABCNews.com website and they have the Univision link on it’s home page, but down in the “Politics” section.]

Compared to the other networks CBS did a lot of accurate reporting on Fast & Furious.

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 <<<

There is a ready-made political commercial here (regarding the kids getting murdered with F&F guns) that would devistate Obama and company.


Yes. Barack and Eric lied; brown children died!!! Then repeat it in Spanish!

In your effort to make yourself feel oh so superior you offered a bet on two hypotheticals, two ifs. Sorry, if that went over your head.

Nobody at horse races will accept bets on two horses “IF” they win.

Really? Wouldn't it be more remarkable if they did report this?
