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'."

Re:An important debating point

[beadfulthings]

You may have a point. I just took it to Google Fight [googlefight.com], where I entered the terms "Global Warming" and "Britney Spears." Global Warming seems to have won by 67,800,000 results to Britney's 31,500,000. It also beats out Paris Hilton by a somewhat smaller margin and Lindsay Lohan by a huge margin.

Does anyone else out there have the feeling that [the White House] is increasingly an anti-American, [rightist] swamp, of no real importance to anyone [except lobbyists]

Good post, just had to fix a bit of your spelling.

I say "Screw it"

What I lose on the anti-global warming posts, I make up on Simpons-based cracks.

Lindsay Lohan has way bigger tits than Global Warming.

Happy 21st!

Yeah, not to mention a tighter, sweeter smelling snatch. That Global Warming really gets around and doesn't have the best hygiene. Though I dated Lindsay before she became famous and Global Warming after the greenpeace movement kinda died down and she was on the rebound, so that might have had something to do with it.
