Ann Coulter joined Sean Hannity Wednesday night to react to the big elections this week. And amidst a rather strong bout of Chris Christie-bashing, Coulter went after the GOP for throwing away easy races by running candidates that the conservative base loves but have zero chance of winning in a general election.

Coulter said, Any Republican is better than any Democrat, and Republicans really have to focus on winning. She cited the Virginia gubernatorial race in particular, saying Ken Cuccinelli might have had a better chance at winning if 1) the RNC had actually thrown its weight behind him, and 2) if Republicans hadnt nominated E.W. Jackson, a fiery conservative preacher, for the position of lieutenant governor.

Hannity was particularly fired up about Christie, continuing the pile-on from his radio show, saying he loves criticizing members of his own party and lecturing Washington but hes bit his tongue about President Obama and has plenty of problems of his own. Coulter was less critical of Christie, but did agree he has his issues and if the media had its way, Christie would be the anointed nominee.

Coulter kept insisting that Republicans really need to concentrate on winning the way the Democrats do, and instead of primarying their own members they should prioritize vulnerable Democrats first.

Amnesty International volunteers tie cloth gags across their mouths during a protest in central Sydney in July, 2008. They demonstrated against what they claim is the Chinese government's censorship and surveillance of internet users in China.

A new study by the Center for International Media Assistance has found that, over the last five years, China's media restrictionshave begun to seriously affect the reportage and operations of international organizations.

As China's international political and economic power has grown, so has international coverage. The number of foreign correspondents in the country has nearly doubled since 2002. As a result, the Chinese government has moved to use its increased clout to control international opinion and reportage.

The Communist Party thinks its now powerful enough to intimidate [non-Chinese], from business people to diplomats to academics and journalists, and its willing to throw its weight around, veteran China reporter Paul Mooney said. It has learned that this often works and is willing to do anything to protect its image and stop negative news from being reported.

The Communist Party of China engages in four main strategies for influencing international media, according to the study:

The study found that, during the last six years, foriegn journalists have been assaulted while reporting on land protests in Zhejiang and an activists trial in Sichaun, among other incidents.

In addition, journalists have expereinced delays in visa processing or had their applications rejected directly based on the content of their reporting. In 2013, ten percent of respondents reported difficulty obtaining press accreditation because of their reporting.In 2012, al-Jazeera Englishs Melissa Chan and the New York Times Chris Buckley were denied visa renewal and forced to leave the country, in what the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China called the most extreme example of using journalist visas to censor and intimidate foreign correspondents in China.

The other major facet of the Chinese censorship enterprise is the use of economic benefits or repercussions for businesses and publications, based on their coverage.

A few examples from the study:
