Is The Corporate Media Still Censoring Stories?

Project Censored has an illustrious history of drawing attention to stories that the mainstream press overtly censors or ignores through a corporate media culture that dismisses the existence of topics that threaten the status quo. The organization also promotes media literacy by educating the public about strategies that are used to disseminate misinformation and propaganda.

With the forthcoming publication of the newest edition of Project Censored, Truthout interviewed long-time project Director Peter Phillips and current Director Mickey Huff to gain a sense how this project began, and how it intends to continue making an impact in a constantly transforming media landscape.

No one is censoring the media. We're being screwed by the dumb dumb American public that yearns to hear what Paris Hilton is wearing today or who J.Lo is screwing more than what is going on behind closed doors in Washington. Not to mention the idiots who get all frazzled over every bs story they read.

You are right on point. The Daily Times is afraid to run anything critical of PRMC! It makes a mockery of the term "free press". All we hear is their own heavily biased perspective on things.

They aren't 'news' outlets anymore but gov. p.r. centers. I.E. Social Security is paying more out now than it's bringing in.
