  I received this from a credible source today:
This is from John Schmidhauser former Congressman (D. IA). Who now lives in
Carpinteria CA.

On Friday I received a phone call from a good friend  who works at CBS -
I've  known her for years and she is a producer for some  of the news
programs, one  well known one in particular.   She tipped me off  that the
news media is in a  "lock-down" and that there is to be no TV coverage  of
the real problems with  voting on Nov. 2nd.  She said similar "lock-down
orders" had come down  last  year after the invasion of Iraq, but this is
far  worse - far scarier.

She said the majority of their journalists at CBS  and elsewhere in NYC
are  pretty horrified - every one is worried about their  jobs and
retribution Dan  Rather style or worse.   My source said they've also  been
forbidden to talk about  it even on their own time but she was pissed and
her  journalistic and moral  integrity as what she considers to be a
government  watchdog requires her to  speak out, even if covertly, and she
therefore asked  me to "spread" the  word...She said that journalism and
the truth is at  stake.  She said another friend of  hers, a producer at
MSNBC, said that an anchor by  the name of Keith Olbermann  had brought it
up on his show on Friday eve and the  axe came down.  He's at  least
fighting back and talking about it on his  "Blog", but she said that people
there are worried that he's going to be fired by  higher ups.

She said at this point the only way that the "real  news" was going to be
known is if the people started talking about it and  made a big enough
stink about  it to our elected officials, the FEC, and "noise" to  the
international media,  that our own media won't have any choice but to
cover it.  The only place  you'll see this talked about right now is on the
internet and on AirAmericaRadio.
