Government Control Over News Media Admitted in 1996
"A good example of the tremendous degree to which the major news media organizations are
called to heel is seen in the facts surrounding the two year hiatus in the professional career of
CBS broadcaster Connie Chung, who had the misfortune to have ended up being paired with
Dan Rather several years ago.
On a live call-in TV talk show some two years ago, Ms. Chung responded with a bit too much
candor to a question as to what actually gets reported publicly by the major news media, given the
great number of stories and items which come from the numerous sources of "raw" information.
How are the stories which get the attention of the media chosen and by whom?
Connie Chung replied to the effect that it wasn't too hard to decide what stories get aired--they
just "checked with Washington D.C. to see what had been cleared for publication by the
government". Oops!
As a result of her being foolish enough to tell the truth in what was likely just a naive, probably
unintentional and inadvertent slip, within no more than a few hours Ms. Chung was out of a job
and remained blacklisted in the industry for a good two years, only resurfacing in 1998 with a
position at ABC--sufficiently chastened, some no doubt believe, to allow her to grace the public
airwaves once again."
