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'."
Sounds like a zealot extremist ... Move along, nothing to see here.
Your mind tricks won't work on me. I live outside the US and information like this is COMMON on our news broadcasts.
I'm still amazed at how much corporations can brainwash american couch potatoes.
...because its based on pseudo-science...
Yeah, like evolution..But creationism is real science and should be taught as such in school.
What?
"Number 18 is the standard "The US Government Made 9/11 Happen!" paranoid conspiracy crap. If this was ignored by the media, GOOD!""Paranoid"?
"Conspiracy?"
"Crap"?
"GOOD!"?!
It is now deemed "GOOD" for the media to ignore reporting the largely unknown (under-reported) fact that many quite highly qualified individuals seriously question the official story behind what is quite possibly the most important recent event in United States history?!
You sir are a troll. Someone who, upon having made up their own mind regarding the so-called facts of the case, are now bound and determined to see that the case remains closed (like your mind) by encouraging the suppression of dissenting views and/or new evidence/opinions on the matter. After all it's only YOUR view that counts, right?
People like you make me sick to my stomach.
I may not buy into many of the current theories floating around out there regarding what actually happened on 9/11 or who was behind it and why, but at least I, unlike you, am open-minded enough to at least listen to and entertain the possibility that some of the more well thought-out and investigated and, dare I say it, PROBABLE ones just MAY merit more serious and thoughtful investigation (not to mention reporting).
Please understand that I am, NOT necessarily saying the [under-]reporting of such theories/questions is necessarily censorship, but regarding censorhsip I can say the following with absolute certainty:
Censorship sucks, as do closed minds such as yours that seemingly support it.
