Global National is a popular Canadian news channel based in Ottawa. On 
the 29th they aired a two minute segment on Bitcoin in which Tor was 
mentioned. They immediately tag Bitcoin with Silk Road and Black Market 
Reloaded: "To reach it [the site] you need the software called Tor. To 
buy something you can only use Bitcoin."

For those interested, the site is globalnews.ca. This piece seems to 
have been an excerpt (promo) for a fifteen minute Bitcoin segment that 
aired on their "16X9" program today. I haven't been able to get that 
program yet.

The takeaway for the typical viewer is likely that Tor is an enabler for 
the Dark Side.

"Darth Dingledine" would be a rather catchy moniker. :)
