" 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"For more thanforty years, Project Censored has been our watchdog on the establishment media, casting its eye on how the information that we receive--and don't receive--shapes our democracy.
