Kurzbeschreibung
The yearly volumes of Censored, in continuous publication since 1976 and since 1995 available through Seven Stories Press, is dedicated to the stories that ought to be top features on the nightly news, but that are missing because of media bias and self-censorship. The top stories are listed democratically in order of importance according to students, faculty, and a national panel of judges. Each of the top stories is presented at length, alongside updates from the investigative reporters who broke the stories.

CENSORED: US Military Worlds Worst Polluter!
10. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Censored 2011 is a book that covers over 25 important stories that have been censored or omitted from mainstream corporate news coverage from 2009 to 2010.
The importance of this book in presenting the painful truth cannot be over estimated.
The Project Censored Team includes over 30 Universities around the world that study mainstream media content and report in detail on news stories that the corporate media would prefer us not to know.
Such a story is that the US Department of Defense is the Worst Polluter on the Planet. This revelation goes largely unreported. The fact that the US Department of Defense is beholden to no pollution controls is disturbing. Large portions of Iraq are irradiated due to the use of depleted uranium armaments (DU) and reports confirm that 1 in 4 babies born in Iraq have birth defects directly attributable to this DU pollution.
Afghanistan has also suffered from the results of unrestrained US Military Air strikes. The mountains of Tora Bora, that supply much of the drinking water to the surrounding lands have now been polluted with depleted uranium in the name of finding Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida.
Other stories include the concerted effort by the mainstream corportate media to downplay civilian casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan, which at present exceed one million.
Project Censored has compiled a list of censored news stories and examinations of current media practices that paint a disturbing picture of the world we currently inhabit.
That so many people are ill informed about what is really going on in our world is a testament to the power of influence the mainstream corporate media has over all our lives.
I am sure we can all agree that news coverage should be honest and unflinching in reporting unpalatable truths. What is clear from reading the revelatory Censored 2011 is that we are constantly bombarded with military propaganda, outright lies, junk food news, sins of omission, faux news and overt news abuse.
A clear example of this is why there is no rational or dispassionate debate concerning the numerous anomalies, lies and misinformation concerning the events of September 11th 2001. This particular event more than any other needs to be explored for no other reason than it has been used as the excuse for two illegal invasions, escalation of US drone attacks in Pakistan, the loss of civil liberties in America and the United Kingdom and an exponential rise in military industrial complex spending.
I recommend this book as a essential tool for uncovering some of the reality of the world we live in today. My gratitude extends to all the Universities and their students that have contributed to this important work, Censored 2011 and particularly Mickey Huff and Dr. Peter Phillips for their tireless effort in bringing some much needed honestly to ailing journalistic practices.

A Valuable Source In Today's Murkey Media Climate
2. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
If you..
-get all of your world news from your TV
-think most political issues boil down to "right and left" ideals
-think JFK and 9/11 theories are conspiracy crock
-are unable of serious critical thought
..then this book is not for you.
I picked this up a month ago and have not been able to put it down since. The subjects are scholarly and the authors are credentialed. Every segment has source material via web links for the reader to see for themselves. The title of the book really only refers to the first chapter, the rest covers updates on stories from the last book, prospects for hope around the world, as well as expressing the dire need for full scale change in our established institutions. This is not an idealist essay; it is an academic collective of current affairs. I don't know what disturbs me more, the stories themselves or how little the American public is aware of these stories. We need, esp in the US, more news organizations like Project Censored. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who seeks an honest image of global affairs.
