FOX to air special about possible gang/terror connection
Sunday at 9 pm EST, FOX will broadcast a special report on American gangs and Terrorism. The FOX website says it all…
Murder, Drug Trafficking, Smuggling — Notorious international and American gangs may be helping terror groups travel over the border and into our cities. Newt Gingrich investigates a new focal point for Homeland Security.
This special has been getting commercial airplay for most of this week on FOX News Channel. FOX understands the concept that promoting their Weekend specials more than two days in advance of the airtime will likely boost the audience level. Are you paying attention MSNBC?
They may be promoting it, but it won’t be worth watching. and look who is hosting it. The respected NEWT Gingrich. Geez!

The special will get good numbers, even though it is a repeat.
I believe last Saturday was its first showing.

Yeah, last Saturday was it’s premiere date. It was slated to air a few months back (during winter, I believe). One day, there was all the info - descriptions, interviews, video - on the website. The next day, it was gone. They must not have been ready to air the special yet then.
FOX is also replying another Newt special, on Iran.
His specials are interesting, and are by far the most “old school” thing you’ll find on FNC. And by that, I mean, no flashy graphics, no exciting editing, not even a interesting VO (I mean, Newt!). But he always picks great topics that are worth watching.

I’d rather sit and watch paint dry than watch NEWT or anything fnc wants to call a special investigative report.

Funny how people who actually work in the Justice Department on the issue of gangs say there is NO connection between gangs and terrorism. Seems the most vicious gang –the one that has deliberately attacked the U.S. Constitution, stripped the regulatory agencies of their power, and crippled the U.S. democracy–is the gang to which Newt belongs. Odd how that works.
