Project Censored 2003 Underreported Stories
gobbo writes "Project Censored has released its top 25 underreported stories for 2002-3. Everyone needs to find out about these as part of a daily anti-propaganda vitamin, but /.ers should be particularly interested in #6: "Closing Access to Information Technology," in which Arthur Stamoulis reports on how the conglomeration of control over the physical networks threatens access to content. Alternative links suggested for more info: the Center for Digital Democracy, Media Tank, and Free Press. Double plus good I say, who wants all that information anyway!"
Are those stories still censored? Oh, no, never mind, that's just the /. effect.

#26: What happens to websites when they are linked to from Slas
Sound waves should be free!
Bush: Gee, Dick, what do you want to do tonight?
Cheney: The same thing we do every night, Dubbya.
Try to take over the world!
There are some comedic gems in here...
#8: US/British forces knowingly use illegal depleted uranium weapons in Gulf War
Bullets are designed to kill or injure. DU does it better! And for longer, too. Plus it sounds scary because people picture "nuclear bullets"!
The alternative would be to have soldiers fire hardened lucky charms marshmallows. The make up for lack of density with that magically delicous flavor.
#10: Africa Faces New Threat of Colonialism
I'm helping out that Nigerian gentleman that keeps sending me emails.
#11: U.S. Implicated in Taliban Massacre
Yes, we did kill a lot of them. Fortunately, there was no conspiracy there. WAIT! Because we funded the enemy of our soviet enemy when they were our enemy, that must mean the Taliban was, is and will always be our freind. Get married so you can find out about how friendships change over the years.
#17: Clear Channel Monopoly Draws Criticism
Rush Limbaugh haters unite! I'm suprised Fox New's surge to the top wasn't on the list too. Open minds, open minds... If it's not our news there can't be news.
#20: For-Profit Military
Obviously never read "Soldier of Fortune" mag as a kid. This just in: "For-profit sex: it's real and in your neighborhood!"

That's because it happened 80 years ago you complete cretin! It's called News for a reason dumbass. Why not come out with "What I don't understand is that we hear so much about President Bush invading Iraq but hear so little about Assyrian aggression towards the Hittites during the 1st millennium BC"
