Number 18 is the standard "The US Government Made 9/11 Happen!" paranoid conspiracy crap. If this was ignored by the media, GOOD!
The majority of the stories are either "Bush/Cheney/The US/Halliburton is evil" or "OMG panic the environment is in trouble." I'm thinking the real purpose of this list is to say "here's stuff I think is really important but most people don't. Since I don't think it was featured enough, I'll going to just claim it was censored by news networks."
I can't believe the following response was rated "insightful":
"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?!

"Highly qualified"? I'm sure. Just like creationists are always ready to trot out all those "highly-qualified biologists" who oppose evolution.
I don't see anything wrong with ignoring crackpot conspiracy theories that have already been thoroughly debunked.
Sir I'd like to call bullshit on you. Why? Because you are not responding to his point, your are illustrating it. What you typed has nothing to do with the idea of -- looking into claims --. Look into the "highly qualified" and decide. Report that process and the decision you reach. The subject of the story is unimportant, the systems that we build to compare and contrast ideas and the market place in which we view those debates is the only thing that has lasting value.

Thing is that in this case it's the debunking which is being ignored. Whereas the "crackpot conspiracy theories" which fit with the neocon world view continue to be pushed at full volume.
