CNN Gersten Program Cancelled

Just received this from Skywatch:

Subject:       June 24, 1997 Program

I want to thank the over two dozen people who were kind enough to reply
to my message regarding my live broadcast from Phoenix scheduled for
June 24. I regret to inform you that due to network concern for the
`safety of the public' the program will not be broadcast.

This morning, at a staff meeting, my producer and attorneys from the
legal department decided it would not be in the best interests of the
network to publicize the `Ultimate Secret' and in particular the
kidnapping of Justice O'Connor due to the alarmist and anti-government
nature of its storyline. The network is concerned that the story might
have the effect
of encouraging a viewer to, as one attorney stated, `create a true
story that takes place in the present.' I have e-mailed Mr. Gersten and
though he has expressed disappointment, he understands the reasoning.

FROM THE MODERATOR:

Huh?  Something fishy here.  Even the original Szapiro posting
sounded bizarre:  "Special two hour program" live from Phoenix?
When does CNN devote two hours to anything, apart from O.J.?
