ABC World News is no better than NBC Nightly News. Last week was the time to do it: Department of Justice dumping 1,400 pages on Congress, Sharyl Attkisson releasing information showing they wanted to use Fast and Furious to mandate new gun laws, and, of course, Eric Holder’s testimony. Then again ABC World News has never mentioned Operation Fast and Furious all year. Why start now?
The day of the document dump, Friday, December 2, ABC decided to do a segment on how the elderly are working well into their 90s and a story about a fallen soldier’s dog. But let’s just give them the benefit of the doubt and maybe they just ran out of time. They had the whole weekend to get a segment for it.
Come Monday did it appear on the show? No: Instead, Tiger Woods’s comeback is a much bigger story than the document dump from the previous Friday. Then they had to do a healthy living segment to tell us that too much sitting is bad for us. Yes didn’t you know to much sitting is bad for you? If you’re going to do a healthy living segment at least tell us something we don’t know.
Instead of talking about Mr. Holder’s testimony the next day or new documents revealing the intent to use Fast & Furious to mandate new gun laws, ABC talks about Alec Baldwin getting kicked off a plane. An entire segment was devoted to him. They actually did a study group to figure out which one was right: Baldwin or the flight attendant. They’re able to fit in a few sentences about Blago’s jail sentence too. Surprise! Another governor from my home state is going to prison! They couldn’t fit in one or two sentences about the attorney general testifying? No?
For sure ABC would talk about Mr. Holder’s testimony on the day it happened! Right?! But they do take a little time to talk about Jon Corzine’s hearing, but absolutely nothing about Mr. Holder. I know what Mr. Corzine did was horrible, but so was Operation Fast and Furious. People DIED, including Brian Terry, a border patrol agent and Marine veteran. Still they won’t give a minute to this story even when the attorney general testifies. They dedicate a full segment to the secrets of happiness: how to be happy after having children. Do people lack so much common sense they don’t know how to be happy after having children? Don’t answer that. After all we live in a society now that you have to be told too much McDonald’s is bad for your child. Their last segment of the night is about awful Christmas sweaters. At least they said “Christmas” instead of “holiday!”
Operation Fast and Furious will be their undoing just like it will be for NBC Nightly News. One day they will be forced to talk about this operation and will have to explain why they ignored such an important and deadly story. I personally cannot wait to hear their answer.

ABC= All Bulls**t Channel.
ABC – Deciding for the sheep (us) what is newsworthy.
CBS didn't even do a F&F segment. The day Sheryl Attkisson unveiled the Gun Running mandate scam on the CBS website, there was absolutely NO mention of it of the CBS News that night, nor any other night I'm aware of. Just goes to show you the MSM will do anything to keep this story buried until the facts can no longer be denied.
Maybe Attkisson should take the story to the National Enquirer. Her own network certainly doesn't want the story.
ABC can't report the news that may shape public opinion in ways undesirable to their agenda of ridding the nation of guns. They are rabidly anti-gun just the rest of broadcast media, and any story they do that involves firearms will support their agenda. That's one reason their ratings are rapidly heading towards crappy. They are no longer trusted and with damn good reason.
C'Mon, the Liberal lapdog media is busy sniffing Obama's anal fumes to do any solid reporting! Heck, it was ABC who DESTROYED the video tape of Obama partying with PLO terrorist Rashid Khalidi back in early 2008!
You expected something different now?

They're just waiting to receive their talking points from the Obama Administration. I'm sure that once the White House has settled on the spin that they want to apply to this, that ABC and the rest of the dinosaur media will chime in like good little echoes.
"One day they will be forced to talk about this operation and will have to explain why they ignored such an important and deadly story. I personally cannot wait to hear their answer."
Maybe so, but when you do, you will probably be the only person left still listening to them…
NBC ABC and CBS all continue to broadcast in free air wavelengths.
Only to have the ability to comunicate to their base.
Face it: Any one watching ABC News is not a very serious or very intelligent consumer of news. Why waste time kicking this dead horse?
The Fairness Doctrine would have made the story come to light whether people like it or not! The Socialists control the media and we have no tools to expose their agenda! The Dems/Socialists allowed that doctrine to sunset because they knew it could hurt them. The GOP is feckless!
What did you expect from Always Been Communist?
After all, they are anchored by Deep Throat. Obama knows she didn't get that name for no reason…
Why don't they just re-name it the Sergeant Shultz Network?
And the imigration mandate and the ill effects of obamacare and the unfunded war against Lybia and Yemen and Egypt and The Circular Knights and what can I say? We are more interested in who Justin Bieber stuck his tiny willie in than the body count in the wars. Remember Bush's daily body count. Stephanopolis is only one with the nads to report it on his Sunday show. SAD, SAD WORLD.
This is why they continue to lose viewers. All of the propaganda outlets are losing viewers. Let them die even faster, the country is better off if we mention these parasites less and less.
No one watches that show anyway do they. I have not seen ABC News in years. As Joe Biden would say: "literally, years."
Perhaps the ABC leaders are afraid any mention of Fast and Furious might result in about half a million new NRA members. So they want to keep it quiet
But ABC silence can be just as provocative and they haven't figured THAT out , yet.A great number of those who join pro second amendment organizations do so to fight the lies of the MSM.
There are just some truths that ABC can't share because for years they lied so big.
It turns out Americans get only a few things from the MSM: Ads.Accurate number of deaths at a disaster site as they happen.Accurate sports scores. EVERYTHING else they air or print is a lie.They are spokesmen for the DNC.
No it wouldn't… the LameStream Media would be getting all of it's "opposition" opinions from RINOs (just as they do now, by the way!), while the radio talk shows would be eliminated by the fact that radio stations, in order to keep their licenses, would have to balance three hours of Rush with three hours of, say, the Alec Baldwin Show. They would lose advertising revenue because it has been proven time and time again that the liberal side just can't DO talk radio– the very few who want to tune in to a radio station to hear what they can hear on tv's alleged "news" at any time tend to stick to NPR– and once that advertising revenue started slipping, they would have to change their format to, say, music. Radio station people have to feed their children, too. If YOU lost half of your income, you'd have to change your programming, too. Talk radio would be eliminated by attrition.
How do you figure that the "Fairness Doctrine" would have forced the story into the light? mamapjs is right.
I haven't watched ABC or NBC, so I don't know if those networks identified the party affiliation of Blago and Corzine.
As for why ABC and NBC don't mention Fast and Furious, I have a theory: THEY WERE IN ON IT !
Fast and Furious wasn't just a 'false flag operation' to subvert the Constitution/2nd Amendment operated exclusely by the Federal Government. The media were involved as well. I'll bet $10,000 that there were camera crews and undercover reporters from ABC and NBC involved in Fast and Furious.
Same thing here. Go to their facebook page and post the question "Why?" in the comments section of every post. That should get someone's attention, or piss them off.

Fast and Furious if we had a Press this POTUS wouldn't be getting away with all the thieving and thugs,Sucking at the teet of Power shame on you MSM.
I never ever watch the 'big3' newtwork news shows, not since about '96'. I remember how bad it was back then, but they've really deteriorated since. They handed the responsibility for news to internet outlets.
NBC and ABC are nothing but Fluff Media, they are as relevent as the Lifetime Channels movies are to Hollywood Films.
Thanks for pointing this out. I make it a point to not tune in to ABC or NBC's evening news. It is of no value anymore. At least since 1999. Non-sequiter media.
i ignore these shows of libetard propaganda, though once in awhile i will check in to see how the enemy is behaving
What I mean is News paper,TV and Radio educate or dumb down our nation. Two-thirds of the media is controlled by the socialists.
For every Enslaving, by use of empathy, based editorial spewed by the socialists we could now counter with our logical constitutional freedom based solution to any topic proposed. We could make statements of truth such as…….when the socialists say this tax break they are seeking are good for people we could counter and say that its not a tax break. It is us working individuals are not paying enough into the fica fund for our later withdraw and not funding current recipients that are in need of this funding. Causing us to bankrupt our nation quicker than it would have been.
