American Patrol -- February 27
U.S. Blackout?
Media from nations across the world have covered the American Border Patrol story - except the U.S. According to its head, Glenn Spencer, the ABP story has been told, sometimes more than once, in England, France, Germany, Spain, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Japan, Australia, Mexico, and the Middle East, but not in the U.S.
"On Monday, some French journalists told us they thought we were the subject of a U.S. media blackout," Spencer said. "If so, Lou Dobbs is going along with it," he added. |
