Rediscovered information on Project Gunrunner leading to misconceptions

GUNRUNNER has been well known. For a long time. See those "Journalist Guide" icons in the left margin of my WarOnGuns blog? Guess where I got the cover art to modify from? And Gunrunner is NOT synonymous with Fast and Furious--that was a component strategy presented as a sting op. that turned out to be something else. [More]
This morning's Gun Rights Examiner commentary attempts to contain some misconceptions that are spreading like wildfire.

I would not doubt that this administration wants to create confusion over this whole thing. Make it confusing and irrelevant to the the average Joe.

I have been following how Fox (the only cable station I can barely stand) is covering F&F. Slowly like molasses it is gaining traction. Bret Baier has been giving it more frequent coverage. Just last evening the viewers now voted it by a majority to be covered. BUT the panelist Kirsten Powers who is a liberal mouthpiece for the WH does her best to sweep it under the rug.

david , I have been web surfing over at Newsvine for a few months( an obvious liberal site , connected to MSNBC) that a smattering of Anti gunners tend to spout their issues , as well as a few political activists talk about F&F , and invariably they always confuse Gunrunner with gun walker , pointing out runner was started under the Bush admin , trying to paint it as if this gunwalker incident is one and the same and was started by Bush . Of course after clearing up the difference in names , and pointing out the starting dates for each operation , and getting the correct information out the discussion changes , We all have to do our due dilligence and correct the misconceptions when we see them.
