According to Attkisson’s website archive, her last published story before the Attorney General’s press aide decided she was “out of control” on October 4, 2011 was entitled “ Memos Contradict Holder on ‘Fast and Furious.’” It was about incontrovertible proof that Holder was made aware of Operation Fast and Furious much earlier than he claimed to Congress. Holder would later avoid perjury charges with his amazing Incompetence Defense, in which he claimed he doesn’t read his mail and didn’t see all those earlier briefings about an out-of-control program that got people killed. I wonder if that’s the report that led his office, and the White House, decide Attkisson was a loose cannon that needed to be more firmly lashed to the deck by her editors. After all, the primary function of mainstream media news departments in the Obama era is to suppress news that might confuse the poor little voters. How’s that grab you, champions of the fourth estate? The White House teamed up with the Attorney General to take out a troublesome reporter and gin up some dirty coverage for congressional investigators. A patently bogus claim of executive privilege was used to keep politically-damaging documents under wraps until the President was safely beyond the reach of irate voters. You’d have been totally cool with Richard Nixon doing something like this, right? Attorney General Eric Holder responds to U.S. House contempt vote WGNO - New Orleans, LA
