CanadaFreePress: Networks Threatened Anchors About Speaking on Eligibility Issue

Hi debra, wellI really have to respond here as you so nicely gave a synopsis of the dreadful link. My own take on this is can't you all just stop pondering on where someone was born, you could one day have a brilliant president who was born outside the country so it really shouldn't make any difference and to the outside world is just an issue about nothing except tedium. Now don't let the politcos slate me for saying that, and that I'm insulting the constitution, my opinion is that it shouldn't matter regarding anyone. But the question that is interesting here is WHO threatened the news anchors, the white house bad guys or the networks which employ them. I thought freedom of speech was allowed over there.

Hi Debra. I did a little bit of searching on the net and what I found indicates that, yes, an investigation has been ongoing but what stood out in these reports is that everything they have uncovered allegedly happened in October of 2008, during the presidential campaign...they have nothing from 2009. So here is my opinion about this. I do believe that many news organizations issued gag orders regarding the eligibility issue back in 2008. You can't have network news anchors, or guests on their shows, making unsubstantiated claims about a candidate for president during an election campaign without one shred of hard evidence to back it up. Any kind of claim attributed to a network that could effect the outcome of an election, especially if it turns out to be untrue, would leave the organization that allowed it to be made on the air, open to huge lawsuits. I also have to wonder where the Woodward and Bernstein of today is if there was a conspiracy to keep the media silent? While network anchors have to answer to their superiors, there are thousands of blogs on the web, thousands of newspaper reporters who are watching their industry shrink to nothingness and who would sell their souls to get their hands on the Big Story of today. Other voices and other investigations are very obviously absent. Aside from the Canada Free Press and the Northeast Intelligence Network, which claims to be a group of professional investigators...a fact that can't be substantiated...no one else is in possession of evidence of gag orders. And where is current evidence that a gag order still exists? Talk radio is obviously not subject to a gag order. I listen to various conservatives daily and they talk about the eligibility issue from time to time. You can't say that they're being silenced because they're not.

Indeed, let us play devil's advocate and say that Obama is an-all American, born in the USA... then why hide the documentation? Obamites are quick to say, "that's his right, would you like someone prying into your life?!" etc., etc., but if you've got nothing to hide, for one, and for second, a politician is in "public life" so those ridiculous arguments just don't fly... Yeah, I think there's plenty to hide, and the American people have become apathetic and our government, right along with the corporacracy, and its voice, the media--are all completely corrupt. End of discussion, really. DR...

The truth is finally starting to come out about our Usurper in Chief. This is just one more nail in his coffin. WND has been running this issue from the very beginning, and now finally others are beginning to take notice of the lies and coverups... and it is about time too. Comrade 0bama's supporters are simply in denial. They had no problem with McCain being called before Congress to prove is eligibility, but are all too willing to give the anointed one a pass. Well, it is all starting to fall apart now, and I hope he is driven from the office he does not deserve very soon before he totally destroys America.

I wish I could say that this was surprising. Control is what this administration is all about and it has infiltrated the very institutions that the American people have for so long depended upon for truth. The press, used to be proud of their independence and the freedoms that allowed them to call out anyone who was breaking the law, even a president. Now the powerful muzzle the free speech of even journalists, failing their most important duty to inform. This is the main reason the WH has declared war on Fox News. They can't control them, they can't dictate what they report and what opinions are expressed. It's the reason the WH is seeking more control of the internet, placing cookies on your computer if you visit a government website and data mining comments, links and emails from third party networks like Facebook, MySpace and Yahoo. If someone doesn't challenge these abridgements of freedom soon, it will be too late. The thought police and the speech police are already out there.

happens all over the world, but at least in the US it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

IMO it just shows that Obama's insidious evil tentacles can reach far and wide crossing borders. What, I wonder, is is the American and Canadian media getting out of their deal with the devil....money? As they have no soul to sell what could be their reward?
