Down the memory hole. Pravda on the Potomac goes dark on the Issa-Grassley report.
Lanny Breuer scans the Washington Post for a story on the Isaa-Grassley report. Finding none, he grunts in satisfaction.
With few exceptions, such as this editorial from back in June chastising the White House for claiming executive privilege in the Gunwalker Scandal, the Washington Post has consistently hewed the Obama Administration's gun control meme.
David Codrea criticized Pravda on the Potomac for posting an AP article on their website that presents the Obamanoid party line on the Issa-Grassley report, but this article did not appear in the print edition, nor did anything else written by Wapo's own administration-friendly scribe/stenographers. Writes a source in DC:
The Washington Post ignored the Committee report; there's not a word about it in today's edition, and I take from this that the MSM is going to ignore the story because the stakes involved in reporting it are too high for their comfort.
Just how "to the death" all of this has become, will become even clearer as we move to the elections.
Previously, I had been told:
Keep your eyes and ears pricked, especially for what The Washington Post says or doesn't say about all this, because they are a proxy for the White House.
So Pravda on the Potomac goes dark to its most important constituency: the Inside the Beltway Mandarins. That's significant. Of course it could be that WaPo's notoriously lazy "reporters" haven't finished reading the summary yet, but it will be interesting to see if the paper's editorial page reacts in the next few days.

Patience......
Propaganda takes time.
You might be interested to know what the quote from Lenin at the bottom of the Pravda page says, as this old student reads Russian: "The newspaper - not only a collective propagandist and collective agitator but also a collective organizer." That about says it all, doesn't it? Old Soviet saying: "There is no news in Pravda ("Truth") and there is no truth in Izvestiya ("News", the other leading Soviet paper).
No Roger J, this about says it all:
Obama - not only a collective propagandist and collective agitator but also a collective organizer.
