THE YEAR IN REVIEW: THE 25 MOST CENSORED NEWS STORIES OF 2008

2008 BROUGHT US LOTS OF GOODIES DIDN’T IT? JOB OPENINGS WENT DOWN WHILE FORECLOSURES WENT UP. OBAMA’S MIDDLE NAME AND LACK OF A FLAG PIN GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION. WE HAD WACKY WEATHER AND EVEN WACKIER ANTICS ON WALL STREET. STIMULUS CHECKS DIDN’T STIMULATE A DAMN THING. THE OLYMPICS TOOK OUR ATTENTION FOR THE ENTIRE SUMMER. AND WHO COULD FORGET THAT ADORABLE LITTLE SPITFIRE SARAH PALIN?

WE WERE TOLD THAT THESE WERE THE IMPORTANT STORIES WORTH TALKING ABOUT.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE REPORTS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE EVENING NEWS?

WHAT ABOUT THE MOST CENSORED NEWS STORIES OF 2008?

JOIN KPFK SENIOR PRODUCER CHRISTINE BLOSDALE AND PETER PHILLIPS FROM PROJECT CENSORED AS THEY UNCOVER THE MOST CENSORED NEWS STORIES OF 2008.

IT ALL HAPPENS ON KPFK RADIO 90.7FM LOS ANGELES (98.7FM SANTA BARBARA) ON FRIDAY DECEMBER 26TH AT 12PM WITH A REBROADCAST ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 30TH AT 5PM. THE PROGRAM WILL BE STREAMING AS WELL ON HTTP://WWW.KPFK.ORG
