This morning June 21, 2012, in the print edition of The Telegraph
we found two stories pertaining to the vote to cite Attorney General Erich
Holder for contempt to the full House.
The first story on the front page was by AP’s Pete Yost and
was titled: Holder found in contempt by House panel
and had been sanitized at the hands of The Telegraph to fit their requirements.
The Telegraph staff cut, molded and trimmed it as need, the final cut left 449
words. The original story can be seen as
appeared on theday.com web site was 936 words long and can be see here: GOP House
panel cites Holder with contempt
Still another
version of the story can be seen here on the Detroit Free Press web site. This
version has been cut to 654 words. U.S.
House panel approves citing Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt of
Congress
As can be seen the
prize for “the cut” goes to The Telegraph President and Publisher George
McCanless and Executive Editor Sherrie Marshall. What makes this so disgusting
is the absence of any news on this in The Telegraph since it all began.
The Second story Slain
ICE agent’s family to sue feds is about a lawsuit over the death of an “…ICE
Agent Jaime Zapata” The death of the DEA Agent Brian Terry does not even get an
honorable mention.
As can be see here “Fast
and Furious” was conceived and started under Attorney General Eric Holder. It
went horrible wrong and some of the guns are connected to the death of two
federal agents.
As we understand it
there have been numerous hearings by the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee and Attorney General Erich Holder has appeared before the committee
nine difference times.
The following paragraph
and information comes from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: 2009-2011:
Operation Fast and Furious:
On October 26, 2009, a teleconference was held at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. to discuss U.S. strategy for combating Mexican drug cartels. Participating in the meeting were Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden, Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer, ATF Director Kenneth E. Melson, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrator Michele Leonhart, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Robert Mueller and the top federal prosecutors in the Southwestern border states. They decided on a strategy to identify and eliminate entire arms trafficking networks rather than low-level buyers.[3][28][29] Those at the meeting did not suggest using the "gunwalking" tactic, but ATF supervisors would soon use it in an attempt to achieve the desired goals.[30] The effort, beginning in November, would come to be called Operation Fast and Furious for the successful film franchise, because some of the suspects under investigation operated out of an auto repair store and street raced.[3]
During all this time:
all the hearings: the death of two federal agents: the deceit and dishonesty of
Attorney General Eric Holder, etc. The Telegraph has largely ignored this prior
to today. This has been completed omitted by The Telegraph; you might say they “covered
it up”.
This is not surprising;
back in 2010 we contacted The Telegraph’s President and Publisher George
McCanless about the lack of coverage of Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters’
ethical problems. On Friday, July 23, 2010 2:21 PM we
received a reply from McCanless who made his position clear in no uncertain terms.
The President and Publisher of The Telegraph informed us that: “He hasn't been convicted of anything---yet.” He went on to press the point home, he tells us: “…I trust you get the message.”
The people of middle Georgia need a newspaper, but they
need an honest newspaper. They need information that they can trust and depend
on. Anything else is dishonest and a disservice.
The Telegraph is out
to cover up for Attorney General Eric Holder and carry the water for the Obama
Administration. It is indisputable, and we have reached the conclusion these
people at The Telegraph cannot be trusted.
According to the
Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson none of this is news. Of course if it is not news we have to ask what was it doing on the front page of a so-called newspaper portrayed as news? At the facilities provided by WGXA TV channel 24 for The Telegraph's morning program, "News Talk Central" The Telegraph's Editorial Page Editor Charles E. Richardson fumbles around and makes an attempt to brush everything off.
