I had read(I think on Canada Free Press) some time ago that all the broadcast media were quietly contacted by the Obama people shortly before the election and threatened with the revocation of their FCC licenses if they reported anything that gave credibility to the birth certificate issue. I had read (i think from the same source) that swinging a dead cat by the tail over your head at midnight in a corn field on the night of the full moon, brings good luck. And I corrected your typo on "credibility"
