I took a break from reading this forum because of the trollish behavior of a couple of pro BATFE members.
I was afraid I might say something un-THR.
Glad to see that the story was confirmed, as I was sure it would be.
To the
"Gentlemen" who attempt to kill stories based upon their source rather than facts.
I remember some of the early reports of "Fast and Furious" were initially discredited by some people on this site because FOX News reported it, as did CBS. Now I can understand being leery of the story because CBS reported it, but I would want to check the other sources, before I called it a lie. Something some people don't seem to bother to do.
Some have called the Examiner a disreputable news source because it is only lightly edited. That is one of it's strengths, after all the very well edited CBS news still ran a false story by it's senior news editor and anchorman, Dan Rather. Plenty of other stories by major news media outlets that are considered mainstream have run false and misleading stories, take the current George Zimmerman/Trevot Martin incident in Florida where both ABC, CNN, and NBC have made false claims and with held information from the public in order to influence how it was perceived.
Some people don't want
all the news they get filtered through the viewpoint of partisan Progressive Liberals Democrats, which dominate the major news services.
Sometimes I want an unfiltered news source, or even one that is filtered through a Conservative or Republican viewpoint.
I am afraid I don't understand people who aren't interested in anything but news that is filtered through partisan Liberal/Progressive editors.
For anyone interested in the truth, one must keep an open mind and get multiple viewpoints and news sources.
