Project Censored's top 25 stories of the year
The original source for this info is Project Censored itself.
I am sorry if this posting is "too political" for some of my readers. I am posting it because stories like these fly in the face of Internet ethics like openness, transparency and completeness. Take Story #1, for example; today open government, tomorrow it takes little imagination to see that what's being eliminated threatens the Internet as we know it.
Besides, doncha just wanna know this stuff?
