I don't know about you, but I think this is alarming, when one woman can censor 90% of television coverage.

[b4its2late]

(Hillary "totally controls" networks!)

We're doomed!

[MeanWestTexan]

That said, the book is garbage.

There are legitimate issues with Hillary --- whether or not Billy raped her to conceive Chelsea is not one of them.

By paying attention to the book, it allows Hillary to brush off real criticism by pointing to this straw man.

[CDHart]

I watched the C-Span 2 interview of Klein on Jim Bohannon's talk show -- I didn't think Klein was nearly as critical of Hillary as everyone was saying he would be. I guess most of the flap came from people who hadn't read the book.

... Sen. Clinton is actively trying to suppress Klein's book in a campaign first reported by NewsMax Monday morning.

Someone ping the DUmmies and let them know that this is what real censorship looks like.

[sharktrager]

I don't like her power, but everything I hear about the book makes me think it's going to harm the right more than help it.

Damned If I Know

[hflynn]

I don't know about you, but I think this is alarming, when one woman can censor 90% of television coverage.

Could you please direct me to the uncensored 10% of television coverage your watching and does it require purchasing a HDTV?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I heard Ed Klein on Jim Bohanan's show on Westwood One radio this morning...

[Nathan Zachary]

John Kerry did the same thing to swift vets, and others who tried to air shows.
Liberal's control the media, and it SHOULD be alarming!
Hillary is just doing what what they are so used to doing, controling everything you see and hear via liberal media

[Spok]

"Her media operation is tightly controlled and highly protective,"

Ruling the MSM, Hillary is desperate to muzzle the internet. Since the Democratic minority in Congress looks to be calling the shots, I expect there will be major legislative efforts toward censorship before the next general election.

[tumblindice]

Fear and loathing of the HBeast. Will it be, as Ann C. astutely points out, another one of those conservative "surprise" best sellers?
Current member of the NYT BS list: "Boys Will Put You On A Pedestel (So They Can Look Up Your Skirt) by Philip Van Munching. Sounds like it has a lot of gravitas.

[OldFriend]

It was ever thus. Gary Aldrich was denied an appearance on any TV shows.

The MSM is proud to acknowledge they're protecting the heinous one.

GOEBBELS' PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
JOSEPH GOEBBELS

1897 -1945

Based upon Goebbels' Principles of Propaganda by Leonard W. Doob, published in Public Opinion and Propaganda; A Book of Readings edited for The Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues.

1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.
2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.
b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.
c. It must oversee other agencies' activities which have propaganda consequences
3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.
4. Propaganda must affect the enemy's policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence
b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusions
c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself
d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity
5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign
6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.
8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.
9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.
10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.
11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.
12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.
13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness
14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses
b. They must be capable of being easily learned
c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
d. They must be boomerang-proof
15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.
16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat
b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves
17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.
a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective
18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action or diversion, or both.

[Antioch]

Buffalo News columnist Douglas Turner suggested last week, however, that Mrs. Clinton has much of the press under her thumb, saying she "totally controls" their agenda.

[Publius6961]

After being booked on numerous TV Shows, Klein has been hit with a tidal wave of cancellations, with only one ...

Wouldn't it help this report and the "Hilary runs the networks" theory if we got a list of all radio/TV stations that comprise the "tidal waves" of cancellation?

That would remove the accusation from the hearsay to the verifiable.

[mak5]

You mean he WON'T be on the Today show for 3 straight days?

[Salvation]

I think we need to contact the enetworks and ask to hear Ed Klein.

Next thing would be to contact the advertisers.

[marty60]

Well I can think of a campaign slogan out of this.

Montage of all the Nasty filthy stories(lies) the media spred thru our Radios, TV's, and print about President Bush. "President Bush was subjected to vicious smear campaigns by the Democrats in Congress and by organizations like Move-On. org, supported by Billionaire george Soros. Dan Rather even used the CBS broadcat network to diseminate Fake documents against President Bush.

Cut to picture of Bush and Laura walking hand in hand.

Senator Hillary Clinton is asking for your vote to be your next Presiden, yet when an author Ed Klein publishes a book called "The Truth about Hillary. does the Senator stand dignified and unresponsive to this book. No, she immediately starts a campaign to muzzle this author and prevent the American Public from reviewing the book and make their own decision as to whether they will purchase and read the book.

Cut to the supreme court. Senator Clinton has refused to support a anti-flag burning amendment,

Cut to statement

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., revealed that she would vote against the measure. "I don't believe a constitutional amendment is the answer," Clinton, a possible presidential candidate in 2008, said in a statement.

apparently Sen Clinton has caveats in her support of the Freedom of speech issue. Is this the type of tyranical, vindictive person that should be sitting in the oval office.

Haven't we had enough of the Democrat obstruction in Washington. If an author is a target of her rage for using his constitutional right to publish a book, what can we expect when it cames time to deal with political issues the Senator does not agree with.

Frredom of speech applies to everyone Senator Clinto. Not just to those with whom you agree.

[Sangria]

This is very alarming to me, too. This is just an example of what America will be like if she gets into the White House.

[uncbob]

Hell American Evita was a lot harder on her than this book

[Vision Thing]

Controlling the media is nothing to brag about. When was the last time the media had overwhelming influence over national elections? They didn't have it for clinton version 1.0 (who never won more than 50% of the popular vote), they sure aren't gonna have overwhelming influence for clinton version 2.0.
