The Falun Gong protester whose shrill outcries disrupted President
Bush's White House reception for Communist China's leader Hu Jintao
said Thursday that she was told not to discuss Beijing's gruesome practice of organ harvesting during a recent TV interview because it would disturb viewers during the dinner hour.
"I didn't see any media really cover the story about why I cried out to interrupt the ceremony," Dr. Wenyi Wang, a journalist for the Epoch Times, told the Talk Radio Network's Barry Farber, filling in on WMCA.
Dr. Wang said she contacted several media organizations to get the word out and was booked for an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
She told Farber, however, that before the show "one producer actually told me - there will be no discussion about the organs."

"Why?" the incredulous talk host asked.
"They said it was not [appropriate for] the news because it was dinner time," Dr. Wang explained.
Though Wang's one-woman protest received widespread media attention, the press largely over looked the reason for her outcry - a bid to call attention to the gruesome organ harvesting practice.
Dr. Wang told Farber that the Beijing regime extracts hearts, livers and kidneys from prisoners all over China; including "prisoners of
conscience," who could be Christians, anti-communists, or members of
the Falun Gong religious movement.
