My fellow Cypherpunks, The following is interesting.

find string: Connie Chung
A good example of the tremendous degree to which the major news media organizations are called to heel is seen in the facts surrounding the two year hiatus in the professional career of CBS broadcaster Connie Chung, who had the misfortune to have ended up being paired with Dan Rather several years ago.
On a live call-in TV talk show some two years ago, Ms. Chung responded with a bit too much candor to a question as to what actually gets reported publicly by the major news media, given the great number of stories and items which come from the numerous sources of "raw" information. How are
stories which get the attention of the media chosen and by whom?
Connie Chung replied to the effect that it wasn't too hard to decide what stories get aired--they just checked with Washington D.C. to see what had been cleared for publication by the government.
As a result of her being foolish enough to tell the truth in what was
just a naive, probably unintentional and inadvertent slip, within no more than a few hours Ms. Chung was out of a job and remained blacklisted in
I think you must be mistaking "Wired" for the "Weekly World News". You know I live about 20-30 miles from a large government/corporate installation (the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in South Eastern Iowa). Was opened in the early 1900's. Thousands of acres, 100's of miles of Railroad, Bunkers, Warehouses, High Security, built atomic bombs in the 50's and 60's. It doesn't even show up on most maps. It just surprises me that I don't see it getting the kind of crap you see about Area 51 and "Barotouk (sp?)" . Of course it is acknowledged by the Gov't , and N. Telsa didn't do any "cloaking/time experiments" there :). There has been press recently about workers seeking government compensation for possible radiation contamination while manufacturing nukes there. (Hey, maybe I should start a web site too ..... I'm "sure" I can find someone to say that that's REALLY where alien bodies are stored and their autopsies conducted, and the warehouses I can see from the highway look "exactly" like the ones where the Ark of Covenant is stored.

industry for a good two years, only resurfacing in 1998 with a position at ABC--sufficiently chastened, some no doubt believe, to allow her to grace the public airwaves once again.
