Thanks, Missoula Independent!
If this week’s Missoula Independent sparked your interest with Amanda Witherell’s article “Project Censored: Ten news stories mainstream media ignored this year”, which originally appeared in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, then check out the book on which the article is based. Censored 2009: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007-08, edited by Peter Phillips and Andrew Roth with Project Censored, is now in stock and able to educate you on the most important undercovered or ignored stories of the year, according to members of Project Censored.
[p.19-20] “Each of this year’s Top 25 is a story of corptocracy- of life under a government of, for, and by large multinational corporations that increasingly diminish the value of life in the quest for profit. This system has turned our American pledge of allegiance to “liberty and justice for all” not only into a sad travesty, but importantly also into a reminder of our responsibility as Americans. [...] We need change that comes from more deeply knowing, spreading the truth about, and taking responsibility for the social and environmental realities that feed our consumptive American way of life.”
