Censored: Exposing How Corporate Media Hides the Truth

The decade between 2012 and 2021 saw the killings of 1,733 environmental activists across the globe. Corporate profits rose to record high levels in 2022 - while people were still feeling the impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic. Antibiotics fed to cows by beef suppliers for major supermarkets and fast food chains could create a huge public health crisis through the spread of “superbugs.” Twitter had deep relationships with the federal government when it came to content policy, and many big tech companies hired former CIA and Mossad agents.All of these should be considered major stories in and of themselves, but they either barely got any news coverage in the mainstream media, or they were misrepresented until pressure became too big to ignore. That’s why they’re just some of the stories on Project Censored's list of the Top 25 Censored News Stories of 2022 and 2023. And there’s a massive lack in media literacy in the United States, where only four states mandate critical media literacy education in public schools. Project Censored has just published their State of the Free Press 2024, which you can get by clicking the Store link at projectcensored.org.
