The Department of Justice is using the liberal “watchdog†group Media Matters for America to deflect questions about the Fast and Furious scandal, including those regarding a gun that might have been used in the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
A new book raises questions as to whether the FBI hid the existence of a weapon recovered at the scene of murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Conservative commentator and author Katie Pavlich lays out evidence she says points to a FBI cover-up to protect a confidential informant in her recently released book, Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-up,
In response to an inquiry from the Free Beacon, a Justice Department spokeswoman said in an email that she “was told to direct your questions to the FBI, and also to provide you with a link to this story: http://mediamatters.org/research/201204190011â€
The link was to a story at the George Soros-funded Media Matters for America supposedly refuting many of Pavlich’s claims. Media Matters is a partisan organization whose founder, David Brock, is also running a pro-Obama super PAC.
In Operation Fast and Furious, federal agents allowed more than 2,000 weapons to be smuggled across the U.S.-Mexican border and into the hand of violent drug cartels, with the intent of tracking them to learn more about the cartels.
Two weapons connected to Fast and Furious were discovered at the murder scene of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was gunned down in the Southern Arizona desert in 2010 by five criminals armed with AK-47s.
However, Pavlich asserts there was a third gun. The book details three separate pieces of evidence that point to a third weapon being recovered and then covered up by the FBI and the Justice Department.
Border Patrol agents, who have since been issued gag orders, were overheard at Terry’s funeral discussing the third gun.

It's all stuff that a Special Federal Prosecutor will investigate in ten months or so, and get convictions. :-) :fuelfire:

Propaganda. The media is nothing more than the propaganda mouthpiece for the democrat party.
Its come to this. If only the republican leadership could have the will to fight for what is right.
-
Typical, media matters is funded by George Soros. So naturally they would be happy to lie for the liberal racist douchebags Holder and Obama.
-
Its a pretty sad state of affairs when the DOJ has to hide behind the media to protect themselves.

I really hope the heat gets turned up on this issue as part of owebuma's failed record. I also hope this issue continues to build momentum and gets so big the owebumaManiaMedia can't ignore the story any more, and is forced to report on it on a daily basis.

I seem to recall der Führer of the Third Reich using his propaganda organs in much the same manner. Why should der Führer of the ObamaReich be any different?
-
Why is MediaMatters still considered a non-partisan tax exempt corporation? That should be investigated, too.

Thundley my friend,
Hush up! Your name is probably now added to the list.

Everyone knows that MediaMatters isn't close to being a bi-partisan corporation. The only reason they don't have to pay taxes is because off how much Soros donates to Obama.

The headline is laughable.
Media Matters? :lmao:
A Source? :rotf:
To Refute? :rofl:
What the hell is there to refute?

Why does Media Matters matter?

Why does Media Matters matter?
It matters because George Soros owns it and he donates millions to the Obama admin. It is also where a lot of left wing news organizations, ie; MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, New York Times, Washington Times, Etc, Etc, get their information from. The left doesn't use Factcheck.org like the right does. They use Media Matters.

I know all that. But the general public is becoming increasingly aware that Media Matters' lies and blathering doesn't really matter.

Yes, that is true. Good point ^5

I think it's more of the shock that the talking head for the DoJ would respond to a media query of any kind by directing them to a Media Matters article as an answer.
That's lazy beyond description or belief. You never want to outsource...overtly anyway...your responses to the media on ANY issue.

Very true!

that's the crux right there.

Hell, there's at least a dozen or more sites just like it. Some of the Black Churches do the same thing as MediaMatters and claim exempt status, too.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Holder's a damn coward, just like his boss!
(edited to add)
I am surprised we even hear of questions about how they ****ed up. Usually the media and every single one of O'Bummer's drones, does their best to squelch any tough question.
Like I said, Holder's a coward, just like "the Bummer".

This is why Media Matters needs to lose it's damn 501(c)(3) status. :censored:

Yep. I am all for being patient with indictments until Obama no longer has pardon powers. He will just simply pardon anyone convicted.

I do believe that will happen after the Dems are reduced to an ineffective minority in the government next year. Levin has been intentionally slandering them in an effort to goad them into filing a lawsuit against him so he can completely expose them in court via discovery.

This tactic is par for the course for the lib/dem/socialists. Remember when Holder accused the nation of being cowards with regard to racism ? This was AFTER owebuma got elected. It was so delusional, but understandable if you know the lib tactics and the lib agenda. This particular tactic is projection, accusing the opposition of the exact thing they are guilty of.
