To make you laugh. Did we do it right?
A week or two ago, I mentioned that the word “botched” keeps appearing in their stories. Maybe not every single time but often enough to make me suspicious that they are taking their orders from above and it is the same orders.
I don’t know if they’re taking orders, but they’re definitely obsessed w/ “botched.” Roget’s lists about 45 synonyms for the word.
Fast and Furious was a criminal program operated by the US government to allow guns bought in the US to be transported to Mexico’s drug lords in return for (probably) drug money contributions to US political parties and campaigns.
The only thing that got “botched” was the public got informed.

No, the LSM always reports when perps get their comeuppance, as a crime gone wrong. As in home invasion goes wrong. hold up goes wrong, liquor store robbery goes wrong, &c, &c , &c. Then when the perp gets battered or shot, said perp becomes the victim.
Radio “news reporters” quickly point out that there is no criminality in what Holder did.
