geiger, the source that I referenced primarily is the Drudge Report. As of this day 9-06-2009, the article still appears in the left hand column about the 7th headline from the top.
This is also reported in the China Daily @ Chinadaily.com.
This has been on the Drudge Report for several days therfore giving plenty of time for the Drudge Report to verify the report.
Since most Americans have such a short attention span, maybe Fox and the others are just saving this report for a time closer to the planned event.
Or maybe they just don't care. Or perhaps the report is totally bogus.
