Top 10 Ignored News Stories
Wandering around FARK, I happened upon a story titled “Ten major news stories the media is ignoring” from MarketWatch.com. Here are the stories they have picked…
- The Feds and the media muddy the debate over Internet freedom
- Halliburton charged with selling nuclear technology to Iran
- World oceans in extreme danger
- Hunger and homelessness increasing in the United States
- High-tech genocide in Congo
- Federal whistleblower protection in jeopardy
- U.S. operatives torture detainees to death in Afghanistan and Iraq
- Pentagon exempt from Freedom of Information Act
- World Bank funds Israel-Palestine wall
- Expanded air war in Iraq kills more civilians
I’m not so sure the press is under-reporting the torture of detainees, or the civilian deaths in Iraq. I agree with the other ones, especially the one about Internet freedom and Halliburton selling nuclear technology to Iran. Each deserves more coverage than, say, some wacko that claimed to have murdered Jon Benet Ramsey.
