POPSTop 25 Censored news stories of 2007
Jimminy Jilickers Radioactive Man, the vice president is selling nukes to Iran and the media doesn't want to talk about it! And that's just the second most significant news story swept under the rug this year according to this Kronkite-endorsed .org. I wonder, what is going on behind the scenes that we aren't privy to, and how does it affect my daily life/sense of reality? If the VP (by way of Halliburton) is in bed with Iran then its not a stretch to think that the media could be in bed with the government. Its almost impossible to know where the real lines are drawn anymore. Democrat/Republican. Democracy/Dictatorship. Capitalist/Fundamentalist. Journalist/Editorialist. Sinner/Saint Its all the same now, the lines are totally blurred. It could be conjectured that much of what we are sold, told, and taught is designed to keep us just "in the know" enough to do our jobs , buy things, and have babies that will grow up, do jobs, and buy things. Long live the American

POPSGuess Hate is a Family Value I'm so sick of hearing about "family values", it's become another way of trumpeting bigotry. The bigots are coming out of the woodwork since the Larry Craig story. The right is quick to condemn mister Craig for not living up to the "family values" he claimed to support and defend. The left is just as quick to condemn him for typical republican hypocrisy. Mr. Craig is not evil incarnate, he's misguided, confused, perhaps opportunistic and self hating, but he is not the problem. Anti gay bigotry is the problem. If an institution is so weak that it requires exclusion to stand then it is already doomed. With every misguided act of protection of marriage, it is cheapened and made weaker. Bigotry in any form only hurts us all. We need to stop it already.
