*'''John F. Kennedy Jr.''' - July 16, 1999. Prospective Candidate for Senator from New York in 2000. Within days of an NBC ''Dateline'' story hinting at a possible run for the US Senate, JFK Jr. and his wife '''Carolyn''' and sister-in-law '''Lauren Bessette''' when the Piper Saratoga II TC JFK Jr. was piloting crashed in to the ocean just short of Martha's Vineyard. The ''[[Newsweek]]'' issue for the following Monday, which NBC ''Dateline'' had reported would announce JFK Jr's candidacy, was yanked from distributors and destroyed. According to some reports, Mrs. Kennedy was pregnant. Hillary ran unopposed in the 2000 Democratic primary for US Senate from New York and was elected in the November general election.

:Even before the wreckage of the plane had been found, the media was saturated with news stories declaring the weather to have been very hazy making it impossible for JFK Jr. to know which way was up (he also had working instruments in the aircraft, though he was not Instrument Flight Rated). The weather was in fact VFR conditions, and 8 mile visibility, plus weather radar and witnesses on Martha's Vineyard all reported clear skies (however, he was flying near or after sunset, where no visible horizon would have been available to use VFR). Reporters Cindy Adams and Andrew Goldman have documented the planting of false information about JFK Jr. in the media in the days following his crash.
