As I was wrapping supper in tin foil to put in the oven, I wondered....

Could men in black suits with badges have visited the talk host....Let them know there was an investigation going on and ask them to step back.....

IIRC something similar to that happened during WWII....Even NYT cooperated.....This could be that level of national security.....

Alright, I'll wrap the rest around the roast.

Those of you old enough to remember WWII (I'm not that old) can also remember (I've read of it) cities undergoing "blackouts" or "brownouts" of city lights, so as not to provide an attractive target to enemy bombers. Even railroads placed "shrouds" on their engines' headlamps.

Also, people of that time were admonished in various ways, through various media, that one should, in the interests of national security, CAREFULLY watch one's words.

It is very possible that some sort of censorship (not only self-censorship) has been imposed on our media outlets.

That would be the only scenario under which they could win back my trust. One of the problems, though, is that several of these high profile conservatives are already on record as saying they think it's a non-issue.

I would think that if your hypothetical scenario were true, then their statements on the matter would be more neutral, i.e., "There could be something to this, but let's just see what the courts have to say."

Given the negative statements I've already heard voiced by Hannity, Mark Davis, and apparently Michael Medved, I think they're all on the wrong frequency here. They really need to be tuned into FR.

Hoosiermama, I can alway count on you to cut through the tin foil to the meat of the issue. Ha ha.
