No one should be surprised. Here in hawaii I experienced something like that as did every other newspaper reader in the State a while back(14 years i think). It was the Friday before Tuesday election day for Govenor Waihee's 2nd term. Someone(never knew who) bought 4 full pages statewide in the newspapers and used information derived from a massive federal investigation into the Hawaiian 'mafia'. The print was smaller than normal so you can imagine how much info there was... A detailed history naming names of past and present political and other officials...all tieing them into a massive RICO fraud scheme(including past govenors, state reps, police....). I was blown away and couldn't wait to see the TV coverage... yet there was nothing....not one mention of the biggest story ever to hit State politics...not on TV and never mentioned again in the newspapers. Waihee won, which also doesn't surprise me given the power of the democratic machine here. Amazing what total censorship can do.
