Though reporters asked about it during President Obamas Thursday press conference, media coverage of the gun-running Fast and Furious scandal has generally been lacking.
On Hugh Hewitts syndicated radio program Thursday, columnist Mark Steyn explained why he hasnt ignored the story, and attacked the Obama administrations involvement in the program.
In this case the government of the United States is the gunrunner, Steyn said. That is basically what is happening here. There would be no guns running to these Mexican cartels if the United States government hadnt instituted a program to facilitate it.
Steyn noted the lack of media outrage compared with other scandals in the past.
Now real Mexicans are dead, he continued. Does the president of the United States, does his attorney general, does CNN, does The New York Times, does NPR do they not care about dead Mexicans?
I mean, forget the United States Border Patrol guys that were killed about these Fast & Furious guns. Real-live, or previously live, citizens of third world countries the kind of people that NPR, The New York Times claim to love are dead because of this.
Why isnt that a national scandal? he pleaded. This is absolutely a Iran-Contra didnt rack of that kind of body count. Watergate didnt rack up that kind of body count. Sarah Palins daughters boyfriends mother, or whatever stupid story they were chasing around Wasilla for months, that didnt rack up a body count. There were hundreds of dead Mexicans from a gun running program run by the United States.

LaRaza is silent also, Many Soros funded media and organizations looking the other way.
Thanks.
To: marktwainAccording to the Forbes article, the Mexican DA has a list of over 200 Mexican citizens killed by the guns from this program. Plus a couple US law enforcement men.Abu Ghraib got 46 straight NYTimes front pages for naked flesh piles and a scary mean dog. How many front pages does 200 dead Mexicans merit?
Great Post!
It is NOT “hundreds” of dead Mexicans —that is the Mexican AG’s number, which only counts those F&F guns found around the LAST victims of those guns.
The REAL number —the once cited by the son of the Sinaloa Cartel is THREE THOUSAND.
The left claims to care enough about Mexy crossers to put drinking & aid stations in the desert, why are they so flamboyantly thumb-sucking HERE?
Yes, ObaMubage is their doe-eyed Cabana-boy, fine. The POINT is that the Establishment Media be made to PAY A PRICE for ignoring this.
Their intransigence has to be milked for all it’s worth —the RINOs should be taking out TV ads in prime Ghetto time in the US Southwest on Telemundo, etc. —ObaMugabe’s 2012 number should be ZERO. They should be screaming their heads off in Spanish about how this Crips in a crispSuit is offing their heffes in desert shootouts.

That is just it. We don’t know the actual numbers because its not worth it to the MSM or the Gov to investigate it.
Soros influences much of MSM, in Mexico journalists are beheaded for reporting on it.
“Why dont CNN, NPR, NY Times care about dead Mexicans?”
Because live ones don’t vote in US elections?
Sounds like a great title for an Ann Coulter book about F&F:
“Who Cares About Dead Mexicans?”
Because the president's name has a "(D)" after it.
