Censored 2006: The Top 25 Censored Stories by Peter Phillips and Project Censored is the dead tree version but you can go to the Project Censored website and find all sorts of tidbits. The following is a list of a few of the stories posted on Nov. 1 that I think worth noting.

• Bush Administration Dismantles VA
• Global Warming Hits Tipping Point
• U.S. Uses Napalm in Iraq
• Corporate Media Ignores U.S. Hypocrisy on War Crimes
• War Profiteering by Defense CEOs

And don't pass up the chance to check out the detailed Media Ownership guide. It's actually a chapter from the book in PDF format. See how a very few mega-media companies own and control the vast majority of our entertainment and news sources. Get mad.

Bloggers tend to be on top of the immediate news and action. I like the annual Censored volume because it's a little bit of a step back to try and gain perspective on the past year. It's like those annoying Top Ten lists at the end of the year but containing really important information rather than empty filler. Info junkies and those who like to look behind the curtain should check it out.
