NY Post: Reported censorship by owner Rupert Murdoch - New York Times

Excerpt"
“Many of the charges have been reported before, but Mr. Spiegelman repeated them in his statement. He said that in 2001, he was ordered to kill an item on Page Six about a Chinese diplomat and a strip club because it would have “angered the Communist regime and endangered Murdoch’s broadcast privileges.”

Murdoch instructed Col Allan, who instructed Richard Johnson, that Page Six was not to pursue any unflattering stories about Chinese officials,” Mr. Spiegelman said in the statement.

Mr. Spiegelman also said that Page Six had killed “unflattering stories about Bill and Hillary Clinton on numerous occasions.” And he said that a “favor banking system” extended to Lachlan Murdoch, Mr. Murdoch’s son and a former Post publisher, and “famous friends like actress Nicole Kidman.”"
