1 out of 5 stars Another Year - More Conspiracies   November 23, 2008
 0 out of 5 found this review helpful

I don't own this one because it's not available on the Kindle, but I just suffered through last years version Censored 2008: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2006-07 (Censored) and thought some of you might find my review of the 2008 version useful (or not). Here goes:


"Let me start by saying that I'm center-right politically. That said, I like to understand both sides of any argument, so I gave this book a try based on reviews. Here's what I think based on having read about a third of this thing before I just couldn't take anymore.

"The title of the book should not be "Censored". It should be titled "Unreported". The reason that these stories have been ignored by both the liberal and conservative media is very simple ... THEY ARE NOT STORIES. Rather, they are the same old conspiracy theories repeated with an ultra-left wing slant. I don't mean liberal ... I mean ultra-left wing, as in fringe. These "journalistic watchdogs" accuse the center and right of everything except eating little puppies alive, although that accusation may be made later in the book. And, this nonsense starts pretty much from the beginning of the book as you read about how wonderful the world would be when the lights went out. What does that have to do with journalistic integrity? Here's a side question for all of you who think this would be great. How will you be making bicycles out of scrap cars in you don't have a blast furnace to melt the metal? But, I digress.

"If you are an avid conspiracy theorist, run out and buy this book. If you want a true unbiased performance assessment of the media in our country and the world, look elsewhere and save your money. This book is nothing more than a divisive and polarizing ultra-left rant written by a bunch of liberal academics who've never done much more than sit around a campus and dream this nonsense up while their teaching assistance actually teach."
