Default Project Censorship?

http://www.projectcensored.org/publications/2005/

How good/reliable is this site? Seems biased to me. I am also unclear as to how the Adminstration is somehow responsible for the news not getting out - how are they enforcing censorship? Under what threat of what law?

It looks perfectly normal to me, John - what we call "left-wing spin." You see, according to them, only the so-called right wing does propaganda. That's because the left wing is running the news media. Not by censoring - just by having the likes of Dan Rather, who are so left-wing oriented that they will say anything to promote that side.

The administrations aren't enforcing censorship; nobody is except the media itself, and then only as they see fit. That's the current description of Freedom of the Press, I'm afraid.

And, of course, this is a very prejudiced opinion I'm giving you. Maybe someone else will give another!

Despite what they say, however, ('they' being the media) around here the dead do vote, but they only vote Democratic..
