In what may be an unprecedented act of media censorship, several major TV and cable networks - including NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, Fox and CNN - have cancelled planned appearances of the author of the new, red hot book on Hillary Clinton.

Edward Klein's sizzling new biography "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It and How Far She'll Go to Become President" has caused a storm of controversy after Sen. Clinton lashed out at it.

Her aide called the book "full of blatant and vicious fabrications contrived by someone who writes trash for cash."

Hillary's top aides and supporters have also launched a major effort to stop any discussion of the book over the TV airwaves. So far, their censorship effort has been a huge success in stopping Klein from appearing on television.

Though the celebrated author was scheduled to appear on more than a half dozen major TV network shows, all have cancelled except one, Fox's "Hannity & Colmes."

However, conservative host Sean Hannity did reveal that he was under immense pressure to cancel the program.

"I've had more political pressure than I've ever had in all my years in radio," Hannity said to Klein during a radio interview. "Do you know the number of requests I've had to cancel you and not have you on this program? I've never in the history of this program had more demands to cancel the guest."

Hannity did not identify the source of the "political pressure."

Other hosts had similar experiences. Salem Radio Network's Mike Gallagher, syndicated nationwide, said he was deluged by emails opposing Klein's scheduled appearance and demanding he drop the author. Gallagher described the campaign as "very unnatural, like an orchestrated [effort]" and not from his listeners.

And people claim the Media ain't bias? Ummm... open yer eyes everyone, this article just proved that fact

Maybe there is a reason for that,other than media bias.

[Kalshion]

Because Hillery can't stand the truth?

Hey! When they released a book about Bush.. no one cried or tried to "surpress" anything from the general public RIGHT?

That's because the Clinton's are still the darlings of the Media. I think the media is still in denial about the cigar caper. You know the democrats are going to come down hard on this issue because, in their eyes, Hillary is the their possible dream ticket back into the white house.

In all honesty,I have no idea what 'The Truth' is.

And I don't yous does either.

Someone is afraid of something. Wouldn't you agree. Just by the concerted effort alone should make you ask questions. If it wasn't for this, I would have probably never have heard about this book. Thanks Hillary for giving me the heads up on it I'll be sure to read it.

Why?

Your mind is already made.

Not in terms of this book. But I ask myself, why the big stink. If Hillary and her crew had just let it go, I wouldn't have give the book a single thought. It would be just another book, someone was trying to sell, in the annals of history.

Ummm, so far the only two questionable arguments, by some, out of the many about the war is WMD and the Terrorist connection. Hmmmm, did you not read the link I sent. While Clinton diddled in the white house, he was also diddling in Iraq. The two are inseparable.
