What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A crucial contribution to the hope for a more just and democratic society.” —Noam Chomsky
“Project Censored is a national treasure … This is a brilliant, startling, and informative book that every young person, adult, student, and concerned citizen should read.” —Henry A. Giroux, author of America At War with Itself
“Project Censored rescues the most important stories you should have read but probably never saw from oblivion.” —Chris Hedges, bestselling author of War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning and Wages of Rebellion
“[Censored] should be affixed to the bulletin boards in every newsroom in America. And, perhaps, read aloud to a few publishers and television executives.” –Ralph Nader
“Whereas the mainstream media poke and peck at noteworthy events at single points in time, often devoid of historical context or analysis, Project Censored seeks to clarify understanding of real world issues and focus on what’s important. Context is key, and many of its ‘top censored’ stories highlight deeply entrenched policy issues that require more explanation than a simple sound bite can provide.” –San Francisco Bay Guardian
