If you are not familiar with Project Censored; they annually put out a list of 25 stories that they feel are vitally important and not properly covered in the mainstream media. I read this list every year, and like most years, find about two articles worth reading about. The articles are interesting, and do swing to the left. Regardless, I think it does point to the fact that wether you read National Review or the Washington Times, there are still stories that are not properly reported on. And yes, I do think I’m funny.
