Two veterans of investigations into Communist influence on the U.S. political process have released two blockbuster reports on Barack Obama’s ties with agents of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA and its front groups. But in a major new development in the controversy over the media’s handling of the explosive information, Internet journalist Matt Drudge has reportedly refused to run advertising for the reports, saying the material is “too controversial.”

Drudge could not immediately be reached for comment. The Obama Campaign was not immediately available for comment.

The ads drew readers to America’s Survival reports on communist networks in Hawaii and Chicago that influenced Barack Obama. The lengthy reports are full of documented information, testimony and exhibits from Congressional hearings into Communist activities on American soil.

“While I expected the liberal media to censor the reports, I never expected Drudge to spike them. He apparently doesn’t believe the public has a right to know,” says Cliff Kincaid, President of America’s Survival, Inc. and author of one of the reports.

Kincaid said he was outraged over the rejection of the ads and told Drudge’s representative that the public has a right to know that the popular Internet site is suppressing information on flimsy grounds.

Kincaid, who also serves as editor of Accuracy in Media, believes the media should inform and educate the public and that the media’s handling of the information has become almost as controversial as the information itself. “There is a major cover-up underway,” he said.

“Read the well-documented reports for yourself and decide if they are ‘too controversial,’” Kincaid stated. “Then ask yourself why Drudge, said by some to be the world’s most powerful journalist, is suppressing this information.”

The face in the proposed ads was of Frank Marshall Davis, identified member of the Communist Party USA and mentor for a young Obama in Hawaii, and also featured a communist hammer and sickle. The ad asked, “Who is this man?” and urged viewers to click on the ad and “meet the mysterious Red mentor” and go to the reports.
