Choose your news wisely, you might have missed something

When it comes to the news, it’s important that we recognize that our choice of sources is extremely important. There is a reason it’s good not to rely on just one news source (even if it is Jon Stewart).

Thanks to Project Censored, I bring you their recent list of the Top 25 Censored Stories of 2006:
