The Fast and Fumbled

[BT]

Just curious why they would not report a Bush Era ATF screw up as it was unfolding.

[sirs]

Apparently barely scratched the surface of anything.  Perhaps they had already done a good enough job with Bush's ratings.  They had Iraq & 5% unemployment that they were carpetbombing him with.  I guess they were too busy with that

My guess is Obama's numbers are at the same place Bush's were yet the MSM seems to be keeping us up to date on Holder's problems.

My guess is that if this were Bush, it would be the lead story, on every network, every evening, with the WH press corp, led by dear Miss Doud, requesting, if not demanding, the AG's resignation.  I'd expect a few news anchors to even help facilitate the act, with some lead memos, regardless if they're found to have been forged

Well it was Bush. The story was known in Congress which means the MSM knew about it, but nary a peep that i can recall, and i think i would have remembered it because i am always suspicious of sting operations and the larger goals behind them.

And the story was microscopic in comparision to what has happened with Fast and Furious.  As I said, Bush was already getting slammed from every direction by the MSM.  As i just referenced, if F&F happened under Bush's watch, it'd be 24/7 news, with anchors bringing up a whole host of newly found (forged) memos to paint him with, and the WH press corp demanding the AG's blood

How so? Guns walked. They ended up in Mexico. And put to ill use.

Far fewer walked, and no American Law Enforcement agent died as a direct result

I really think that the MSM likes the BATF more than they ought .

Fast and furious is so gross it can't be ignored , but the earlyer simular fiasco was smaller , escaped attention.

What kept the BATF from learning from the mistake? Did they think they were doing better by scaling up ?

There is a corporate culture in each federal agency, the BATF has a reason to exist in the eventual elimination of the second admendment, this leads to a culture of disrespect for the common citizen.
