Censored 2011: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2009-10 (Censored: The News That Didn't Make the News -- The Year's Top 25 Censored Stories)The year is not complete until Project Censored releases their book-length analysis of the previous year's censored stories.
Technically, most of the stories covered by Project Censored are not censored, merely grossly under-reported stories according to the progressive sensibilities of its editors.
The 2011 edition covers global pollution by the US military machine, Internet privacy, abuse of immigrant workers, and corporate welfare (among other issues).
Project Censored has been publishing these annual editions since 1976. While it may not be in my best interest to be critical of works I'm trying to hawk, it's possible PC was a lot more relevant in the pre-Internet years. These days anyone interested in the ongoing saga of Blackwater (Xe) or egregious pollution by global industry can probably better follow those stories on the Web. However, it's always worthwhile to check in on the topics followed by this venerable progressive institution.
Why this is progressive/liberal: Project Censored provides an overview of some of the topics most important to progressives in a given year. Pollution and theft by big business remains one of the most pressing issues after more than 30 years.
