- digg it
- gonegoogling, on 11/03/2007, -11/+71caught most of them on digg thankfully
- meruru, on 10/31/2007, -13/+5Same here, that's why I don't understand this list. What criteria are they using to call a story censored? And is this the top 25 most censored stories or the 25 most important stories that were censored?
- commernie, on 10/31/2007, -6/+17It OBVIOUSLY means censored in MSM. In other words, they weren't given the airtime they deserved because they exposed things that our rulers don't want us to know =).
- tblasko, on 10/31/2007, -4/+7I don't think the "OBVIOUSLY" was very necessary... the guy didn't understand it. Re read your post and take out OBVIOUSLY; it reads the same but with a little more tact. I await the day when people stop being dicks on the interwebs. According to whats_his_faces law, apparently that won't happen.
- jggr, on 10/31/2007, -5/+2Bury please
- spucky, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2People can be a little short tempered at times, especially when they have to answer the same questions over and over. Just let it slide. OBVIOUSLY you have never been married.

- nospinhere, on 10/31/2007, -5/+15The criteria he is using are the 25 top stories that weren't picked up by the mainstream media due to their obvious spin and lies.
- cheesehead, on 10/31/2007, -5/+8Here's a story that is so censored it didn't even make the list of the 25 censored stories. No one wants to talk about the persistant pollution being spread by the high altitude planes of the United States flying over Nato countries. Gee I wonder what's happening to the bees?
Google chem trails.- BrapAllgood, on 10/31/2007, -5/+4Good point.
- xadhominemx, on 10/31/2007, -6/+2The day that chem-trail conspiracy theories invade Digg front pages is the day that the Digg user base loses credibility with rational internet users.

- Monk22, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1how did no one else notice that its not even 08 yet somehow this guy found the most censored stories for a year that hasn't happened yet?

- ClosedCaption, on 11/07/2007, -13/+86yesterdays conspiracies = todays news
- FyreGoddess, on 11/03/2007, -4/+28Clearly, though, tomorrow's news (2008).
- danarama, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1real conspiracies are unfortunatly real news
- pawnzRus, on 11/03/2007, -0/+2Conspiracies = the things that never make the news. Hence, the danger of censorship.
- guy19, on 11/03/2007, -20/+3I'm sure the #2 law was passed only because the new orleans local authorities didn't want assistance during Katrina when they clearly needed it.....
- banq59, on 10/31/2007, -5/+8Yeah I'm sure :rolleyes:
- guy19, on 10/31/2007, -8/+1 I didn't mean to say its the "only reason" but, rather its one possible reason...It makes sense tho to overrule mayors, governors or whoever else in the event of disaster if they are hindering the safety of citizens... People should be the major concern of government and not the legalities or the "I can do it myself" attitude that some politicians have.... but will this law be abused??? theres no question in my mind....
- snowball69, on 10/31/2007, -5/+5Maybe they had their own ideas about what "freedom" means and Bush's Nazism wasn't one of those?
- guy19, on 10/30/2007, -3/+2I wasn't trying to debate the freedoms that this kind of law bypasses.... I was just trying to state the reasoning behind it.... or the way they tried to squeeze it passed us as a benefit..... which its really not
- banq59, on 10/31/2007, -5/+8Yeah I'm sure :rolleyes:
- kendra82, on 10/31/2007, -14/+3In my opnion, Marzia Prince is one of the most uncovered talents out there:
http://www.newstoob.com/category/marzia-prince/- Narcowski, on 10/30/2007, -1/+1RTFA
- NoOneButMe, on 11/03/2007, -4/+120It's still 2007
- barktwiggs, on 10/31/2007, -3/+20It's just like cars. We gotta get the 2008 models out in 2007.
- haloevo, on 10/31/2007, -6/+3Woah... You're nuts. :P
- haloevo, on 10/31/2007, -8/+4It's like cars though.. They sell models a year ahead for some stupid-ass reason.
- AUmrysh, on 10/30/2007, -1/+3I knew i hadn't lost my mind... well, I'm still not sure, but it is reassuring that I am not the only one to notice this.
- barktwiggs, on 10/31/2007, -3/+20It's just like cars. We gotta get the 2008 models out in 2007.
- dildoolielly, on 10/31/2007, -19/+9Only a complete scumbag still listens to opinions from a whacked out drug addict on the radio, or a dildo using pervert and his screeching she-male cohort on FOX.
Now, that is the height of stupidity!- AIONutter, on 10/31/2007, -5/+7Actually, your comment is pretty much the height of stupidity. Did you have a friend help you type up the response?
- alpinecow, on 10/31/2007, -33/+15None of these stories were "censored;" they just weren't picked up in the mainstream media. Buried as inaccurate.
- doktorzee, on 10/31/2007, -7/+23Maybe that is a form of censorship
- bingobongony, on 10/31/2007, -19/+6No, it is a form of filtering out *****.
- Fr4nk2012, on 10/31/2007, -2/+3Like the way my block button will filter out you.
- norman619, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1Maybe people should have a more varied selection of news sources?
- darkcooger, on 10/31/2007, -2/+2See, I generally disagree with the viewpoint that "not reporting a story" is the same as censoring it. I mean, yes, in a way it is censorship, but everything any media outlet reports is censored in some way or another. In my mind, only the government can be guilty of censorship, by altering or removing facts. The media is just showing bias, and in a free market world, one would hope that less biased options would be available. In the case of the government, though, there's just the one source.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Yes, it's called "Corporate Censorship."
- bingobongony, on 10/31/2007, -19/+6No, it is a form of filtering out *****.
- Hittman6, on 10/30/2007, -3/+3Yep, and they do this every year, pissing off the clueless.
- doktorzee, on 10/31/2007, -7/+23Maybe that is a form of censorship
- outlaw1, on 11/03/2007, -22/+32Just curious as to why something thats supposedly censored is making it to the digg front page. Being unhappy that your "news story" didn't get enough press as you thought it should does not mean you were censored.
- notque, on 11/03/2007, -6/+21digg isn't controlled by corporate media. If it was, none of the stories I submit would ever make it. The people here who work hard to get stories on digg are the ones that are combating the censorship and should be thanked.
- eth3l, on 10/31/2007, -7/+5That's still not censoship.
- rcook18, on 11/03/2007, -3/+2What's still not censorship?
- jbmcb, on 10/31/2007, -9/+6Or, perhaps, the stories are full of rhetoric and are poorly written?
- pawnzRus, on 11/03/2007, -1/+3Failing to report a story of social significance to protect political/corporate agendas is censorship. That is what "Freedom of the Press" and the Internet are supposed to protect us from.
- SemDD, on 11/01/2007, -1/+1There is a process of knowledge filtering in all of the mass media projects by definition. having a symmetrically loud voice from a different stance, like indymedia.org, democracynow.org or the digg platform is the next step in coping with the censoring.
imagine the matrix that the chinese live in, and the slow trickle state of enlightemnt that their leaders enforce on them, so to let the genie out of the bottle slow enough to not lose their regimes.... same here, just hope people get to hear it for themselves and reason it out
- Homunculiheaded, on 10/31/2007, -5/+29Can you have a list of the top censored stories? By definition the MOST censored stories out there we probably don't know about. That's like saying the Top 10 things we don't know anything about at all. You can list 10 things we don't know about, but the *top* things we don't know about, by definition, should remain as unknown as possible. So this is a merely a list of 25 generally censored stories, with an indeterminate number of stories that have received greater censorship still unknown.
- Wacer, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7The title should have been used "Suppressed or Ignored" instead of censored.
- kuzotz, on 10/31/2007, -0/+4the word carries those meanings.
- ccheath, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1i'll agree to that, while acknowledging kuzotz's comment as well
i do still believe censored is the best to use, but still agree with you because then we could get over the semantics of the title and actually discuss the content
a lot of digg comment sections are ruined by people arguing semantics of a headline rather than the merits of the submission
sad, really
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0The correct title should read, "The 25 MOST important stories that got the LEAST amount of coverage," but in this world of sound bites and tag lines, that probably wouldn't get enough attention.
- Wacer, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7The title should have been used "Suppressed or Ignored" instead of censored.
- Stuart750, on 11/03/2007, -4/+10Yes! I've been waiting, er.... -62 days for this?
Wait, this doesn't make sense.... - bingobongony, on 11/03/2007, -32/+19No, it is top 10 stories that ultra left anti-everything websites consider as news, or made up completely, and then bitch when no one cares about it.
- notque, on 10/31/2007, -2/+7On digg, isn't it you who bitch about how no one cares?...
- MrVictor, on 10/31/2007, -0/+13Ok, so the Military Commissions Act of 2006 is a myth and was totally fabricated? Its broad language is apparent to anybody who can read. Go read it yourself.
- MrVictor, on 10/31/2007, -1/+6Ah ~47 comments per day bingobongony? You are officially a post whore. No wonder your comments are incoherent nonsense.
- Firehed, on 10/31/2007, -6/+1Some people don't give a ***** how many posts they have, nor about how many anyone else has.
- davidany, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1um, i care, and i think if more people knew they would too, just because the media (right or left) chooses whether to cover something or not, doesn't make it more or less important. If that were the case Brittany Spears would be one of the most important people in our country. I believe that since none of those stories bother you, nor make you feel a sense of outrage, then you probably agree she was.
- davidany, on 10/31/2007, -4/+0oops double post
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0You're right, mate. Know one cares about "Habeas Corpus" or "Martial Law" or "Neoliberalism." Heck, if the news just did more stories about "Neoliberalism," then Neoconservatives might realize "they" are the New Liberals. Watch out Dorothy! Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
- ajazzscientist, on 11/01/2007, -16/+14The Bushies are not republicans, they are "neo-conservative" fascists bent on world domination
- 1337Einstein, on 10/31/2007, -2/+5...Who are almost all members of the Republican Party
- ZenMojo, on 10/31/2007, -1/+3Except for Joe Lieberman, who's an independent, and Hilary Clinton, who abandoned the Republican Party in the 70's.
- Parapadrifter, on 11/12/2007, -0/+1Ron Paul isn't... he'll stuff those *****!
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Ding, ding, ding. Someone give that boy a prize.
- 1337Einstein, on 10/31/2007, -2/+5...Who are almost all members of the Republican Party
- tradwolley, on 11/03/2007, -4/+54I would rather see a site where I can recommend stories to censor.
1. Anything Brittany Spears
2. Anything Lindsey Lohan
3. Anything Paris Hilton
I've got more too.- p0ss, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3I'd like to censor
1. anything that makes war look like a good thing.
2. adds for ***** food and consumeristic crap
3. opinion dressed as fact - dictum, on 10/31/2007, -1/+1I would like to censor all stories not about or related to hair.
- p0ss, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3I'd like to censor
- YouveGotWood, on 10/31/2007, -7/+10absolutely insane that our media is manipulated and censored in such a fascist means. Freedom Liberty and Justice for all? Inalienable Constitutional rights for ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL? Disgusting, absolutely disgusting what this pathetic country has become.
- danewb, on 10/31/2007, -4/+4It's not that bad. Go live in Sudan. Then you can complain. I am somewhat disappointed at a number of the new laws that have passed however. You're just over the top.
- tsotha, on 10/31/2007, -3/+0WTF are you talking about, man?
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Talk to your parents and grandparents (at least the ones that don't watch FAKE news/FOX news) and ask them how much this country has changed. Then think of what you're going to tell you children/grandchildren. THESE are the good times we're going to look back upon someday?
- minorthreat, on 10/31/2007, -16/+10free digg for the first person to list all 25 so I dont have to read the garbage.
- jspegele, on 10/31/2007, -4/+15Translation: Somebody help, there's too many big words on this page!!
- ruineraz, on 10/31/2007, -2/+1while i agree with this sentiment, the page was horrible to read. It contain tiny text, and no clear distinction between one story and another when scrolling. It would've done much better to read if the text wasn't so small, and had a TOC with in-page hyperlinks to separate stories, and possibly a line/horizonal-rule to visually separate the story. The information was great to find out.

As much as #7 Behind Blackwater Inc. being *****.
Clearly explain why the war budget was way above the initial budget proposed. Because mercenaries was not included in the initial budget estimation. Politician are either bribed or blind and dumb. I'll go with BRIBED.- clothmonkey, on 10/30/2007, -1/+4Can't it be both?
- ruineraz, on 10/30/2007, -1/+1maybe owned is a better word than bribed
- ccheath, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1to put it more specifically, it's the whole "cost plus" contracts
wanna make more money? spend more!!!
that's the attitude
and if bribes are costs of doing business...
they hope they don't get caught i guess
- Ghoztt, on 11/03/2007, -4/+24The American public has been bought off by toys, games, movies, sports and 'reality TV' - People are sound asleep to what is going on around them. And I don't expect it to get any better.

- ZenMojo, on 10/30/2007, -1/+1Damn, beat me to it!
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0I like to think of it as people are just too smart to become cannon fodder for someone else's revolution and the ones that aren't smart enough are still waiting for the rich elites to save us.
- Tenlow, on 10/31/2007, -1/+14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses
- BladeOfAnduril, on 11/03/2007, -13/+36They missed one: Congressman Ron Paul Is Running for President

- Scottamus, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1The only candidate I saw mentioned (at least in a good way) in this link was Kucinich.
- SparkyMaGee, on 11/03/2007, -2/+17Damn it, every one of those seems extremely important.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0That'd be why the title says censored.
- sloonark, on 11/03/2007, -1/+9Wow, they know what stories will be censored next year before they even come out!
- lol24, on 11/03/2007, -3/+23*this message was deleted by the government*

I posted the comment on the wrong story.
Lynch me.- jthomp3120, on 10/31/2007, -2/+3not only that, but your link is broken

- bfcnet, on 11/03/2007, -9/+3Project Censored is kind of an oxymoron. How can they be censored if they are published?
- ZenMojo, on 10/30/2007, -1/+2The same way that Manhunt was censored into an unintelligible mishmash of flash cuts and crimson filters.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Um...because the definition of "censoring" is NOT, "the total obliteration of something from reality." Don't believe me, check the dictionary.
- HotSaucePanCake, on 11/03/2007, -8/+3you forgot #26... Digg posting won't make a difference
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0True. We're just practicing our right to free speech, before the Internet gets censored.
- uziko, on 11/03/2007, -10/+1Bigger letters, shortened paragraphs, less technical, and maybe i'll read it.
- 2bsbc, on 11/03/2007, -1/+11Yep. uziko, you have just shown the problem that is going to be the down fall of American society in 11 words.

- 2bsbc, on 11/03/2007, -1/+11Yep. uziko, you have just shown the problem that is going to be the down fall of American society in 11 words.
- 2bsbc, on 11/03/2007, -2/+9RE: #6 Under the code name Operation FALCON (Federal and Local Cops Organized Nationally) three federally coordinated mass arrests occurred between April 2005 and October 2006. In an unprecedented move, more than 30,000 “fugitives” were arrested in the largest dragnets in the nation’s history. The operations directly involved over 960 agencies (state, local, and federal) and were the brainchild of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and US Marshal’s Director Ben Reyna.
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago
The book then describes and discusses the various "waves" of purges, assembling the various show trials and placing them into the context of the larger development of the GULag system. Also, Solzhenitsyn pays particular attention to the legal and bureaucratic development of the GULag system, tracing the decrees and organizational development. The legal and historical narrative ends in 1956, at the time of the so-called Secret Speech delivered by Nikita Khrushchev at the 20th Party Congress of 1956, which denounced the personality cult around Stalin, his autocratic grip on power and the system of surveillance and secret spying that pervaded the Stalin era. Though this speech was not published in full in the Soviet Union for some time after, it marked a break with the most atrocious practices of the concentration camp system; Solzhenitsyn was aware, however, that the outlines of the GULag system had survived and could be revived and expanded by future leaders. In spite of the efforts by Solzhenitsyn and others to confront this shame of the Soviet system, the realities of the camps remained a more or less taboo subject right into the 1980s.
Take note.- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1Wow. That deserves countless diggs from all over. If the people that read this and then research what "censorship" really is and how it's used, and why we are supposed to be protected from it...either more people will start thinking, then reacting or more people will retreat to their safe state of denial. I wonder which it will be.
- WolverineBlue, on 11/03/2007, -15/+3Wow, this is like a liberal version of FOX news; I kind of wondered what left wing scaremongering looked like.
- ZenMojo, on 11/01/2007, -1/+8Difference? These stories have facts and documentation, Fox News quite literally just makes ***** up as it goes along (see: "No deaths last week in Iraq")
- Fr4nk2012, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2Shut up, also, Go Buckeyes.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Back to bed kiddies. Us adults are trying to have a conversation. Don't worry, you'll be grown up someday and then you'll see what the world is really about.

- josvmoo, on 11/03/2007, -2/+31#16 No Hard Evidence Connecting Bin Laden to 9/11
This should be the #1 story. This story is directly related to Stories 1 2 5 7 and 11.
Haas strongly suggests that we begin asking questions, “The fact that the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Osama bin Laden to 9/11 should be headline news around the world. The challenge to the reader is to find out why it is not. Why has the US media blindly read the government-provided 9/11 scripts, rather than investigate without passion, prejudice, or bias, the events of September 11, 2001? Why has the US media blacklisted any guest that might speak of a government-sponsored 9/11 cover-up, rather than seeking out those people who have something to say about 9/11 that is contrary to the government’s account?” Haas continues. “Who is controlling the media message, and how is it that the FBI has no ‘hard evidence’ connecting Osama bin Laden to the events of September 11, 2001, while the US media has played the bin Laden-9/11 connection story for [six] years now as if it has conclusive evidence that bin Laden is responsible for the collapse of the twin towers, the Pentagon attack, and the demise of United Flight 93?”
There was also a statement by Bin Laden denying any part in the 9/11 attacks before the famous "Fat Bin Laden" confession tape.
11. The Muckraker Report agrees. However, for the Department of Justice to indict bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks, something the government has yet to do, the videotape would have to be entered into evidence and subjected to additional scrutiny. This appears to be something the government wishes to avoid.
Some believe that the video is a fake. They refer to it as the “fat bin Laden”video. The Muckraker Report believes that while the videotape is indeed authentic, it was the result of an elaborate CIA sting operation. The Muckraker Report also believes that the reason why there is no documentation that demonstrates that the videotape went through an authenticity process is because the CIA knew it was authentic, they arranged the taping.- ZenMojo, on 10/31/2007, -0/+7I keep repeating over and over that the FBI doesn't have hard evidence because Donald Rumsfeld went against the DoJ and destroyed all of the evidence. Even when he received a court order to cease and desist he just said, "Oops" and kept doing it. Most of it is recycled for scrap or buried in Landfill Park if you're curious enough to dig it up.
- FatherVic, on 11/01/2007, -7/+1...except his repeated confessions...
- josvmoo, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5Read the article. There ARE NO REPEATED CONFESSIONS. This is a myth. There was one video released about a month after the attacks, that has never been authenticated. Showing this same video hundreds of times on hundreds of news casts does equate to repeated confessions.
- sunanon, on 10/31/2007, -0/+3This is consistent with the FBI website which lists Bin Laden without mentioning 9/11 - http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.h ...

No one cares.
So essentially, these stories got lost in the mix because no one cares so that equals censorship. Get ready for a fairness doctrine on the internet.

- regexp, on 11/03/2007, -11/+4I read through the list - its a list of conspiracies - nothing more - nothing less. Perfect example: "#20 Terror Act Against Animal Activists" Animal Activists are responsible for numerous acts of violence and vandalism against persons and property every year. Name one - just one - "terrorist act" -against- animal activists? Once animal activists stop worrying about duck livers and start worrying about human civil liberties - I may consider taken them seriously (although unlikely).
- Scottamus, on 10/30/2007, -0/+1According to this law if you boycott or speak ill of a company (or anything that might cause that company to lose money (including projected income)) that sell animal products, you are a terrorist. So if I boycott a store that sells puppy and kitten fillets, I'd be a terrorist.
It's not a conspiracy, it's an effing law. as real and as valid as "thou shalt not murder".- iiWageSlaveii, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0Actually, in 2001, Robert Zoellick (U.S. Trade Representative , now head of the World Bank) defined for us who the terrorists are. He said, "anyone who opposes capitalism." There, --that's easy isn't it? Censorship indeed, because you can't find that quote anywhere now. But many US scholars believe that the international trade agreements, such as NAFTA and CAFTA, supersede our Constitution because they are international law. The domestic law you're talking about was compelled by such trade agreements. As for all the naysayers who denounce what they believe are mere conspiracy theories, it's just cold hard fact that capitalism is at an epoch. Meaning, that it is at an extreme imbalance. All the ills of monopoly are seen on a global stage, far beyond our national anti-trust laws. There's no conspiracy to ponder or argue over because it's simply the nature of capitalism played out on many fronts. I feel sorry for those who insulate themselves in the belief that voices of dissent are radical conspiracy theorists. Yet at the same time I envy them for their peace of mind.

- phatt-matt, on 11/03/2007, -6/+2Just because a story is ignored by the vast majority of people doesn't mean that it was censored. The very fact that this list is on Digg proves that there isn't any censorship.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Wow. Schools sure are doing a great job of teaching people what censorship is and how it works. Censorship is not the total eradication of something off the face of the planet. The very fact that it is getting so much attention here is proof that these stories did not get enough media attention, which is a form of censorship.
- furly37, on 11/03/2007, -0/+18This project started in 1976 and here is the about us from their page. This has been a well respected project for a long time.
Project Censored is a media research group out of Sonoma State University which tracks the news published in independent journals and newsletters. From these, Project Censored compiles an annual list of 25 news stories of social significance that have been overlooked, under-reported or self-censored by the country's major national news media.
Between 700 and 1000 stories are submitted to Project Censored each year from journalists, scholars, librarians, and concerned citizens around the world. With the help of more than 200 Sonoma State University faculty, students, and community members, Project Censored reviews the story submissions for coverage, content, reliability of sources and national significance. The university community selects 25 stories to submit to the Project Censored panel of judges who then rank them in order of importance. Current or previous national judges include: Noam Chomsky, Susan Faludi, George Gerbner, Sut Jhally , Frances Moore Lappe, Norman Solomon, Michael Parenti, Herbert I. Schiller, Barbara Seaman, Erna Smith, Mike Wallace and Howard Zinn. All 25 stories are featured in the yearbook, Censored: The News That Didn't Make the News. - empiric, on 11/03/2007, -4/+1"Research suggests that, contrary to previous belief, our behavior and our environmental conditions may program sections of our children’s DNA."

- tsotha, on 10/31/2007, -0/+1That's not martial law. The prison population is large because of the stupid "war on drugs", and for no other reason.
- pawnzRus, on 10/31/2007, -0/+0Well, martial law has to start somewhere. And it's not just drug related inmates in our prisons, I'm sure a large amount of them are poor and working class people who couldn't PAY for an acquittal/pardon.
- iiWageSlaveii, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0"You poor bastards.Good luck with all that ." Hahahahaha, truly funny. Yes we are soon to be poor bastards, all of us. But actually the phenomenon that has enthroned the likes of GWB is the same you may be experiencing in your own country. Sad to say, but true.

On the other hand, today, it doesn't seem far fetched at all that mighty USA is heading towards becoming Jesustan, the most heavily armed fundamentalist nation on earth, a Super-Iran of sorts.
BTW, does anybody remember Frank Camper? In the 80's, half the fundamentalist Sikh terrorists killing Indian civilians were trained in his school in Alabama. - moman, on 11/03/2007, -4/+2"# 18 Mexico’s Stolen Election"

- astitious, on 11/12/2007, -0/+8The modern elite do not maintain their power through the suppression of dissent. They merely ignore it. If ignoring it doesn't work, then they mock it. Only after that does outright suppression become necessary. The powers that be censor by preventing information from reaching the majority of the population. They allow critical information some penetration, but that information is useless unless there is enough saturation. You would be a fool to think that these stories were not censored. Money controls the government, money controls the media, and those that control the money control the message.

If they get their money from sponsors and edit their stories based on what's good/bad for the sponsors, then that is "Corporate Censorship" - an actual form of censorship.
