The Kenyan government has barred unapproved contacts between the media and President-elect Barack Obama's extended family.
Family members will be required to receive permission from the government before making any public statements about their famous relative, according to the Nairobi Star.
"We are doing this because we want to ensure better flow of information," Athman Said, an under-secretary in the Ministry of Heritage, told the Obama family in Kogelo.
"The government has decided that you should inform its officers who will be based here if you want to address the media."

Pretty sure this was posted a couple of days ago. But it’s worth a second look anyhow, just to know how our MSM is going to be operating for the next four years. Cover, defend, protect, rinse, repeat.
“We are doing this because we want to ensure better flow of information,”
“We are doing this to ensure only the approved communication” is more like it.
Cover, defend, protect, rinse, repeat
Amen!
Got to forget this stuff and move on and fight Obama politically in other and more sane and efficient ways....

George Hussein Onyango Obama,
Senator Barack Obama's long lost
brother was tracked down living in
a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi

Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.
"No-one knows who I am", he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."
I’m sure liberals will support this freedom of speech.
Thank you, NoGrayZone.
You didn’t mess up.
A similar article was posted with a different title which makes a search almost impossible.
This is an important article and needs to be repeated. I *thought* someone pinged me; after looking back through pings, here’s the old one, crosslinked for reference:
