Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007

Vexorian writes "Is there direct or indirect censorship in the media towards delicate but important topics? Project censored lists 25 stories that did not seem to get the attention they deserved. Whether intentionally or not, for the most part the media skipped over these important topics. From the article: 'Throughout 2005 and 2006, a large underground debate raged regarding the future of the Internet. More recently referred to as network neutrality, the issue has become a tug of war with cable companies on the one hand and consumers and Internet service providers on the other. Yet despite important legislative proposals and Supreme Court decisions throughout 2005, the issue was almost completely ignored in the headlines until 2006.1 And, except for occasional coverage on CNBC's Kudlow & Kramer, mainstream television remains hands-off to this day'."

What an Amazing Pile of Liberal Bullshit

[quakeaddict]

none of this stuff was censored....half of these stories were spouted by Rosie on "the View"....which says ALOT.

Your attempt at humor falls flat.

You don't make me laugh. Work on it.

Try some humor...

[PHAEDRU5]

Forget actual facts, this is /..

Instead, spice up your remarks with vulgarity, ad hominems, and Simpsons extracts.

You'll be posting with Excellent karma in no time.

Oh, sorry.

I attributed your original post to a lame attempt at humor.

I see now that you are a well-indoctrinated, humorless moron.

Please forgive the mistake, and good luch with the rest of your empty life.

_Net_ news censored?

It's the tip of the 'berg.

Here's a nice, simple non-controversial example: the economy.

When we broke 10,000 on the Dow in the Clinton Administration, all three broadcast media threw a party. The other day we broke 11,000 (and then broke THAT) and NOT EVEN ONE of the "big three" mentioned it. Some national papers put it in the 'deep' pages, but it was a definate non-starter.

Not to mention about 20 "personal jihad" stories, like the guy that drove over people at the UNC commons, the 'New Jersey 6' who were ready to kill people at Fort Dix, and several other stories that were written off as kooks and incompetents gone awry.

Yeah, it's important not to panic people...but at this point 1/3 of the Democrats think BUSH is the terrorist, not the guy with the ravine of 400,000 dead Iraqis. And am I ever tired of hearing how we shouldn't "impose Democracy" on people.

Huh? Democracy = Freedom. When is giving anyone freedom an imposition?

Stuff's just upside down; lotsa bots walkin' the street.

Rosie: "Fire doesn't melt steel!" (Her reason for 911 being an inside job.) She's right ya know, we've been making car bodies with pixie dust since the beginning. :>

But wait for it- when a mushroom cloud is over a US city, no one will doubt the news, and maybe then the Liberals will awake to the business at hand. Or, not.
