But I didn't go to your links. I went to the Home page of CBS news. I went to the Home Page of ABC News. I went to the Washington Post Home page. I had to drill down into the sites to find the stories in question. They didn't make it easy. They were not in the main headline stories on any of these sites. Sure I could have simply followed the links you gave but that's not the normal way someone would find these stories. That's my point. BTW, what did you do anyway, go to each of these sites any type "fast and furious" into their local search engine? Sure you can get the story that way. I'll bet that's what you did.

It's kinda like the Print newspaper which puts an accusation on page 1, Upper Fold and then puts the retraction on Page 28, Column E a few days later. Most people see the Front Page accusation but rarely see the retraction. The MSM is carrying this story but barely. Yes if you scour through each site in great detail you can find the stories. But you missed the whole point, smarta**.

The stories are buried ~ I've looked for them myself. At the same time earlier stories that indicate a too close relationship between MSM types and ATF have disappeared from MSM servers.

I reported on that phenomenon at the WarshPost earlier.

Their whole series on the claim that 70% of firearms traced in Mexico come from the USA is now unavailable ~ of course I've been pinging on that in post after post after post for the last year. There are reporters, editors, managers and others at the WarshPost who will find those articles incriminating when we take them to trial for murdering Mexican public office holders.

Two things ~ just because you've already dug up a story for us doesn't mean it's easy for others elsewhere to get to. Secondly, just because someone says its hard to get to (outside of your reference) should not be taken as a personal insult.

The MSM is busy burying their older stories that suggest their complicity in murders on a large scale (the Mexican civil war), and making their current stories something less than front page headline quality.

Excellent point!!! This should be front page news. This seems to be what the lamestream media does. They either ignore, slant, throw a story out as a side or bury it.
