The IOC itself has warned that the great firewall of China should not affect journalists during the games, and throughout the torch relay the protestors have successfully subverted media coverage. It's going to be a fun summer.

(Compare the last link with the official web site's own report of the London relay. Oh, how sanitized the news can be.)
