Driving The News: Fox Covering ‘Fast & Furious’ 10 Times More Than MSNBC And CNN

FoxNews is all over Gun Walker like flies on poop. The only MSM news outlet covering it is ... (shock!) ... CBS. And their coverage is sparse to say the least. One female reporter is doing it all.

But go to YouTube and enter Fast & Furious or Gun Walker into Search and all the returned hits will be FoxNews reports.

Since the Watergate “Scandal” I have held a personal belief (and lost friends over it) that it was ONLY a MEDIA that hated President Nixon that made it a “scandal” at all.
Now I have “Fast and Furious” to cite. This “scandal”, with every thing up to and especially dead Americans, has been declared NOT A SCANDAL by the Lame Streamers.
So—”Please move on folks, nothing to be seen here”
Also, again my Tagline proves itself. Good for me.

Exactly. Now I only read the two Chicago newspapers for one thing - The Sports Section. Or at times for a link to the localized, neighborhood crimes, or Special Breaking News. And I wouldn't do that if my MIL still wasn't living in the old neighborhood.

The only 'newspaper' I read regularly is the Internet 'Patch' newspapers for the Chicago suburbs in my area. And that's not a 'real newspaper'.

I'm old enough to remember the "third-rate burlary" called Watergate. Every channel ran the hearings around the clock. The story covered the front pages of every newspaper for months. Nixon resigned, others (including the Atty General) went to prison.

Nobody was murdered over Watergate.

I disagree. At least 45 were killed [possibly more later] when E. Howard Hunt's wife Dorothy and CBS newswoman Michelle Clark, among others, died aboard United Flight 533 landing in, uh, Chicago.

But the lesson to be remembered from Watergate [during which congressional investigation one Hillary Rodham was a junior staffer] was that the coverup is worse than the underlying predicate crime, and the existance of the coverup indicates just how foul and egregious the entire matter is. What does that say when as you say, the underlying crime involves more than 200 murders- and the coverup is thereby worse than that.
