Juanita Broderick was scheduled to go on a big network show while Clinton was president. She arrived at the show and at the very last second before it started the producers told her she wasn't going on. The Clinton White House had called them at 'talked' to them.

Zero Air Time on CBS Evening News For Latest Weiner Sex Scandal This is where lefties get their"news," right ? CBS Evening News stood out among the Big Three evening newscasts on Tuesday in their failure to cover former Rep. Anthony Weiner's admission that he sent lewd text messages even after his resignation in 2011. The CBS show apparently deemed the British royal family's new baby, the doping scandal in baseball, and whale watching to be more important news items. ABC's World News and NBC Nightly News both devoted air time to the Weiner story. The network finally reported on the latest revelations about the disgraced politician on Wednesday's CBS This Morning, but failed to point out his Democratic affiliation. Jan Crawford merely identified him as a "former U.S. congressman turned New York City mayoral candidate." CBS Evening News led with a 2 minute and 42 second report on the public debut of Prince William and Princess Kate's newborn son. The newscast immediately followed this with a 2 minute and 26 seconds report on the suspension of Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun for the remainder of the baseball season, and the possible upcoming punishment of other players as a result of the doping scandal. At the end of the broadcast, the show aired a 2 minute and 13 second segment on three divers' near-miss with feeding humpback whales. The following morning, CBS This Morning led with Crawford's report on the latest Weiner scandal. Anchor Charlie Rose introduced the segment by trumpeting "the story that is rocking the political world again", and co-anchor Norah O'Donnell continued that new revelations "could cost him a shot at political redemption for his campaign for mayor of New York City". Crawford first noted that "Weiner led people to believe he had put all this sexting behind him – went through therapy – when he resigned in disgrace in 2011. And then, he built this campaign for mayor on the idea of redemption and second chances. But yesterday, he admitted he was still sending lewd texts last summer." She then spent most of her report outlining what took place when the Democrat's obscene messaging first emerged, which ultimately led to his resignation, and what the latest developments were. The CBS journalist, along with Rose and O'Donnell, also zeroed in on Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, who also spoke at her husband's Tuesday press conference, where he acknowledged his post-resignation indecent behavior. Crawford pointed out how Abedin is a "longtime aide to Hillary Clinton". O'Donnell added how the mayoral candidate's spouse is supposedly "widely respected and regarded." But all three on-air personalities couldn't be bothered to explicitly mention the former congressman's party identification during this segment, and in a follow-up segment during the 8 am Eastern hour. CBS, along with its Big Three counterparts, have also omitted the political affiliation of San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, another former congressman who has recently been embroiled in a sex scandal. CBS This Morning initially reported that Filner is the West Coast city's "first Democratic mayor in twenty years," but discontinued noting that information in subsequent reports.

Planned Parenthood Will Run Federal Data Hub With Private Patient Info ....................................................................................................... lifenews.com 7-25-2013 \| Elsie Hilton Undoubtedly, we live in an era where personal privacy is difficult to maintain. Even if you choose not to have a Facebook account or Tweet madly, you still know that your medical records are on-line somewhere, that your bank account is only a hack away from being emptied, and that cell phone records are now apparently government domain. But it gets worse. Enter the Federal Data Hub, which will give the government access to “reams of personal information compiled by federal agencies ranging from the IRS to the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration”, guarded and navigated by an army of “patient navigators.” The federal government is planning to quietly enact what could be the largest consolidation of personal data in the history of the republic,” Paul Howard of the Manhattan Institute and Stephen T. Parente, a University of Minnesota finance professor, wrote inUSA Today. No wonder that there are concerns about everything from identity theft to the ability of navigators to use the system to register Obamacare participants to vote. And…it gets even worse. One group acting as “patient navigators” will be Planned Parenthood: Planned Parenthood is among the long list of…organizations that are expected to receive taxpayer-funded navigator grants. The navigator grants would further enable Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in America, to continue its misuse of taxpayer dollars to [supplement] their big abortion business,” said Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.), who says she wants to eliminate the navigator program — for which $54 million in funds will be made available — even without a Planned Parenthood link because it’s ‘ripe for fraud and abuse’, violations of privacy and identity theft. The navigators will receive 20-30 hours of online training on the 1200 page Obamacare law, and some feel that isn’t enough, likening it to “giving someone a first-aid course and then making him a med-school professor.” In addition, some lawmakers say that the standards set by the Department of Health and Human Services could allow felons to access information and that the entire system is open to fraud and corruption. House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan says this is a hugely under-reported story, and that the Federal Data Hub is a “ danger to civil liberties.” At the very least, the Federal Data Hub should be a concern; at the very most, we can all say good-bye to the shreds of privacy we have left.

The sale of the Wash Post totally blindsided the financially battered news industry that is feverishly trying to crack the code on how to squeeze money from the Internet and other technological innovations, while still digesting The New York Times Co.’s $70 million sale of The Boston Globe and The Worcester Telegraph & Gazette last week to Red Sox owner John Henry for a tiny fraction of what the Times Co. paid for them decades ago. Times Co. chairman and publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., who recently told The Daily Beast that a robust and competitive Washington Post is essential to the long-term health of his own family-controlled newspaper, was said to be “stunned” by the sale, which the Post Co. secretly initiated with the Allen & Co. investment bank to find qualified bidders. thedailybeast.com Donald Graham choked up as he announced the sale to dumbfounded employees in the converted pressroom that serves as the company auditorium. Graham’s loss of composurecame as he was finishing up reading from a prepared statement about the transaction.
