Sec. 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include -
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
the nature of the copyrighted work;
the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

Well, as a whole there are not just many stories that are being squeltched, but perspectives as well.
For starters, check out the Project Censored series of books, which detail 25 of the stories that just didn't make the news last year... I've been reading them for years, and it is fascinating to watch the censorship that goes on every day in our newsrooms.
Perhaps even worse is the limitation of speech imposed by the corporations. Entire segments of the population have little or no voice in our media today. Do you remember the last time that you saw a labor section in the newspaper? (They used to be there!) Take a look at the studies done on various news shows... Well over 90% of the time the same small group of indiviuals are heard from time and again. (Guess who they are?)
Incidentally, I also read yesterday that PBS signed a deal with AOL to distribute NPR and other 'content' that they create. Perhaps NPR is a bit biased too, since they are feeding from the same trough now...
Another book you might want to read is Ben Badikian's prescient classic, The Media Monopoly. While written many years ago (and regularly updated), it provides point by point what has been happening with the consolation of the press in this country.

Goebbels was a great propagandist, but he wasn't as cutting edge at the time as people make him out to be. (Take a look at the American propaganda during WWII.) His work was built off of the work that the American government did in World War I, and the books of Edward Bernays, the man who is considered the grandfather of public relations.
I highly recommend reading the books "PR: A Social History of Spin" and "Toxic Sludge is Good for You: Lies, Damn Lies, and Public Relations."
It is quite interesting to see how so far there has been very little evidence that anyone has even started to read the articles before posting a 'response.'
Anyway, does anybody remember the early history of computers, and the dearth of female computer programmers and users? Quite interestingly, women were there from the beginning, it was just that the men writing the histories made the decision to only focus on the men and their machines... Even though the first programmer was female, and the people responsible for making ENIAC (or was it UNIVAC?) work were almost all women.
Gender bias is real, and a serious problem. Take a look at the article on on line communication, and the different problems that are found in this supposedly 'equal' communications medium.
A person will remain biased whether they are communicating via a centuries old medium or a supposedly blank tabula rasa.
Slashdot is a pretty clear case in point, and fits very well within the descriptions of the masculine culture that dominates the internet today, according to that article.
