Kevin Eder (@keder) September 30, 2012As Twitchy reported earlier, Spanish-language network Univision aired a much-anticipated documentary tonight about the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal. Many conservative Twitter users tuned in, and almost all of them offered up praise:
Hi @univision and @univisionnews, please please put this #fastandfurious special with English subtitles online asap.—

Univision stressing the fact that DOJ didn't care about Mexicans getting killed. #fastandfurious—

I have to say, these @univision reporters are brave. Mexico is the #1 country for the assassination of journalists #fastandfurious—

Univision is single handedly doing the job that the entirety of the US media neglected to do.—

Univision just spanked the #LapDogMedia on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.—

#univision just did some actual TV journalism. And there are some networks out there should be ashamed of themselves.—

This is a call out to all American journalists who have so far avoided an in-depth report on #FastAndFurious. DO YOUR JOB. #Univision—

RT @vbspurs: William Newell, head of the Phoenix ATF, said that under legal counsel, he couldn't speak to #Univision about #FastandFurious.—

Not all commentary was positive, however. A few conservatives pointed out that the end of the documentary wrongly placed blame for Fast and Furious on the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution:
Last minute Univision commentator seems not get the Issue of Fast & Furious. He blames the 2d amendment rather than a government gone rogue.—

.@Univision just spent 1 hour blaming ATF 4 Fast&Furious. They did Barack's bidding by implying tht 2nd Amendment is 2 blame. #tcot #msm—

.@mrsomusa @Univision Right. But F&F existed to create popular outcry against 2nd Amendment. They just carried Barack's water. #tcot #caring—
