"And that is the line that the Democrats will take."

Therefore, it is the line the MSM will take.

MSM would already have been paying attention if Terry had been a black agent killed by a white murderer.

Obama cares about people who "look like me" and Holder wants justice for "my people."

Yes they can. They have almost completely eschewed even attempting to appear somewhat unbiased. They don’t care, as long as their reporting supports their agenda and what they’ve deluded themselves into thinking is right.

[NELSON111]

And that is what I am worried about. The MSM has been SO silent. They will NOW frame the narrative towards the democrats talking points.

We have all the right and truth on our side...but we do not have the vehicle to convey that to the public. and bottom line, this is this BIGGEST election of a lifetime and this is ALL about PR right now.

RE :”The first is, as you mentioned in the grapevine, there's no way that the mainstream media, which have studiously tried to ignore this can do that anymore. In fact, as you pointed out, NBC, which has shown exactly ten seconds of coverage of this on its Evening News in the last year-and-a-half, is now going to have to explain the whole thing since the viewership has no idea what it's about. So, number one, it becomes huge national issue,” Krauthammer said on a special edition of the panel on FOX News’ “Special Report” broadcast this evening. “

I saw that yesterday when it was broadcast about 6:40pm EST, however he also said this has the potential to hurt Republicans in the election. He said it will rally Republicans to vote but has the potential to turn the undecided (who do not follow closely the details of these disputes) against Republicans. I know that is not as much fun as the post title,

I think Krauthammer misunderestimates the ability of the MSM to embarrass themselves.

Operation Fast & Furious had as its central purpose the subversion of the US Constitution. The program's stategy was to gin up a furor over guns sourced in the US being used in Mexican crime so that the US public could be stampeded into restricting the 2nd Amendment.. Since few such guns were being used in Mexico more had to be supplied. They also had to show up at crime scenes so that they could be traced back to the US to 'prove' the Obama administration's assertions.

The GOP should be harping on one message every time F&F is mentioned. F&F was a program designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked this program up knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Hispanics to accomplish their political purposes. The only "botch" in the scheme was F&F guns turning up to get Americans killed too.

You just watch, Kraut. Watch and be amazed.

The Mainstream Media has taken a mission to hide anything that would embarrass the Obama admin since the start. Why would they change now? “If you don’t read about it or see it on tv, it didn’t happen” is their motto.

[popdonnelly]

I wouldn’t be too sure the media won’t ignore it, Charles.

[4rcane]

MSM media won’t cover it until the Obama administration could come up with a good defence, then the media will rally around and circle the wagon for them. This have been a pattern with the media.

[Vaduz]

The MSM puts blacks above the law,it’s a rssult of white guilt.
Also the MSM has never judged rule by law only by feelings.

So, instead of reportage, we’re gonna get wall-to-wall spin about how “This is nothing, and besides, it’s the Republicans’ fault” (And the sheeple will just lap it up...)

[Joe Brower]

In a better world, after the dust has settled on this affair, David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh would be hailed as public heroes.

Reality being what it is, they will likely go largely unmentioned. And if Obama manages to get re-elected, well...

[freeangel]

“...there’s no way that the mainstream media, which have studiously tried to ignore this can do that anymore”

LSM may no longer be able to ignore the story, but the spin will be that it’s a racist witch hunt. After all, it was only a white border patrol agent that died here.

[GOPJ]

The MSM tried to protect John Edwards too. Guess their reputation didn’t take enough of a beating on that one - so now they’re going to ‘protect’ Holder. Fools.
