    News that didn't make the news. You'd think that the alleged endorsement by Walter Cronkite would be enough to bypass this sites lack of fact checks. If any one of these were true stories I can assure you that the mainstream (cough) media would have been thrilled to run them. Even MSNBC has a limit on attempting to pass off lies and propaganda as objective journalism. I can't say where that limit ends, but I'm sure they've got one.

    The news that didn't make the news - they didn't want you to know about it

    Some stories are just too disturbing for us. They fall way beyond denial of what is happening. They fall into the company of thinking about meteors colliding with the earth. The ramifications of accepting such stories as fact are too disturbing. They are just too disturbing to think about. What do these stories say about us as country? What do these stories say about our values?

    This is what happens when most of the media stream is controlled by Corporate interests. This censorship is not of the Orwellian sort that immediately comes to mind. Its actually more subtle and insidious-self censorship by the media. We're not even aware of it. If a story doesn't appear in one of the major media outlets, it, for all intensive purposes, didn't happen.

    Okay guys, judging by some reviews here, there seems to be a few misconceptions about the media in the U.S. First of all, virtually all our news - liberal, conservative, CNN, NYT, TIME, etc... - are owned by 8 or so wealthy, benevolent white guys, who also own the companies who build our bombs, our medicines, our electricity, and basically every corporation imaginable. So what does this mean for the objectivity of the mass media? ...Well funny you should ask, consider the facts and your answer shall be revealed. So, while Disney was getting some heat for human rights abuses concerning the impoverished children who manufacture their cheap plastic garbage for 'America', would it be wise [in the capitalist business sense] for Disney to allow its news channel (ABC News) to whistle-blow and bad mouth their bosses? Sure it's a free country and everything, but the journalists who actually tell the truth pretty much don't make it past the university newspaper, or some other "alt-news" publication. Case in point: If you read the 'About' section, this website is project of the California State University at Sonoma's Sociology Department. Meaning that this news is published in the name of textbook objective journalism, rather than the mainstream media's pro-consumerism sensationalized bullshit yellow-journalism, that is run for-profit by corporate greed-heads. ALL I WANT TO SAY IS: If you are deciding what news sources to trust, don't look for a politicized label that cheers on whatever team you happen to root for as well. The best policy is to FOLLOW THE MONEY. Unfortunately money is everything in our capitalist society, so who ever pays the bills also gets to make the rules. Even the sacred guru of the capitalist free-market, economist Milton Friedman said, "The fallacy is that it is feasible and possible to do good with other people's money." So basically, a certain amount of censorship is inherent to corporate-owned media. Personally, I trust the college kids.
