U.S.-based, Spanish-speaking TV network, Univision, recently aired a shocking expose of the Obama administration’s gun running program — called Fast & Furious — a policy that has ended up in the murder of hundreds of Mexican citizens. Despite this blockbuster report on Obama’s disastrous program and the new accusations that 16 teens were killed by Obama’s guns, neither ABC, CBS, nor NBC have yet said a word during their own news broadcasts about Univision’s report.
This news blackout is most surprising because the Univision report is so fraught with political repercussions both domestically as well as concerning foreign relations between the United States and Mexico. Yet neither of the big three nets seems interested to report on this story.
The most shocking incident of murder and destruction by narco-terrorists using Obama’s guns was the attack on a birthday party attended by dozens of teenagers.
On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez. Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled.
“Indirectly, the United States government played a role in the massacre by supplying some of the firearms used by the cartel murderers,” Univision concludes.
ABC’s refusal to air any of Univision’s report is doubly interesting. This is because ABC has actually posted a report on its own website about the Univision expose. But, even as it hosts a web-based report, ABC has ignored the Univision report in its own aired news reports.
The Univision report is in Spanish, of course, but there is a subtitled version.
