My fellow Cypherpunks, The following is interesting.
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 the 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.
What network? What show? What date? Anybody ever see this? Anybody own a tape of it happening?
I heard the tapes were seized by the Gubment. Maury Povich did a story on this, called "My wife was kidnapped by the Fedz and sent to to a political re-education camp," but nobody took him seriously. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
