You haven't read all about it because you haven't been told all about it
Project Censored publishes an annual list of The Top 25 Censored Stories Of The Year, and by "censored" they mean ignored by the major media outlets.
This year's list just came out, and there's a good overview of it in The Fort Worth Weekly.
If the news you've been reading in the last few years scares you, what you haven't read will get your knickers in a serious twist. The snooze in the news about the disappearane of habeas corpus, the fact that Bush pushed through a little Defense Authorization Act that gives him the power to impose martial law anywhere in the US; you know, stuff that pales in significance next to Brad Pitt or who got voted off the island.
The lack of coverage of these stories harks back to the cloud of silence about the banner drop in a Senate Office Building that was only covered in The Guardian in the UK. An AP story, no less.
