This is bigger than mere self-interest, although of course that plays a part. There is a story here about how the establishment media has, for the most part, ignored a scandal that works against their agenda. There’s a story here about how two mere “bloggers” with virtually no organizational resources or “official” credentials, beat the press at its own game in uncovering a major scoop—a potentially significant indicator for “new media’s” role in the shape of things to come. And there’s a need to ensure that others in the major media outlets at least are aware of who they can talk to if they want to understand the unfolding evolution of this story. [More]Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary makes the case for giving credit where it's due. It's a shame the case needs to be made at all.

Big footed? You ain't seen nothing yet.
ReplyDeleteWayne Lapierre just parachuted into the Glenn Beck show Friday with a rebranded story called Operation Fast and Furious and got Glenn's promise they would do a complete report this week.
Hate to sound skeptical, but I have been there, done that and burned the t-shirt.
Weeks of work in the dumper so Wayne and the boys could make sure
the Oligarchy Agenda suffers no permanent damage.

Glenn Beck is not our friend and if he can will debunk Gun Walker with a bogus expert.
ReplyDeleteWith a little luck we can uncover Beck in the process.
The more this story comes out the more it points to the oval office.
David, just so you know, should this ever cost Obama his job you will be said by liberals to have done so because he is black. Mark my word the race card is going to come out.
Agreed: Attribution should be given where it is due.
ReplyDeleteBut as noted, Beck had a call from LaPierre Friday and then Beck told his audience he'd have a full report 'Monday'.
Which didn't materialize due to, I suspect, the numerous comments recieved by Beck's Blaze about who the real 'heroes' of this are and how Beck's friend LaPierre and his NRA are sucking hind tit on this, using Beck's audience as prospective membership.
I will give Beck a couple of days to make good on his promise before I call and tell him he's as big a POS as I suspect and putting his 'friendship' ahead of truth and doing the right thing for America.
Not holding my breath waiting for him to tell his listeners that LaPierre or CBS or any of his cronies didn't break this story.
