    Glenn, I hope you choose to follow up on this.....

    Jim White said:

    This passage raises some very interesting questions. Given the parallels in the warnings from PBS and CNN, it appears that somehow, these producers are basically censoring the news. On what authority are they doing this? Is corporate management of both organizations requiring it, or is the government forcing these organizations to censor?

    I really think it's important to continue exposing the seedy underbelly of how news and information is "presented" to the masses. It will never rise to the national consciousness if we don't expose it, repeat it, and spread it like wildfire throughout the alternative media so that it is forced to gain traction. Unfortunately, it did not work with the Military Analyst Propaganda story, but perhaps that is because it involved virtually the entirely of the MSM. This story is more confined, and would make for an interesting and darkly revealing investigation.

    Thanks again for all that you do, Glenn. If I can somehow serve as a research aid for you with things of this nature, please use and abuse me. heh
