Stories the MSM Missed

Every year Project Censored puts out a list of what they feel are the top twenty-five stories the main stream media censored. Censored meaning not reported, underreported. I saw it last year on AlterNet and it's there again this year via a write up by Superwoman Molly Ivins.

The full list is here on Project Censored's website. The top ten:

1. Bush Administration Moves to Eliminate Open Government
2. Media Coverage Fails on Iraq: Fallujah and the Civilian Deathtoll
3. Another Year of Distorted Election Coverage
4. Surveillance Society Quietly Moves In
5. U.S. Uses Tsunami to Military Advantage in Southeast Asia
6. The Real Oil for Food Scam
7. Journalists Face Unprecedented Dangers to Life and Livelihood
8. Iraqi Farmers Threatened By Bremer's Mandates
9. Iran's New Oil Trade System Challenges U.S. Currency
10. Mountaintop Removal Threatens Ecosystem and Economy

And from Ivins' write up, I learned that Project Censored is based at Sonoma State University with students and faculty involved in the making of the list. Pretty cool school project.
