	Junk food news
		Junk food news refers to news stories that sensationalize, personalize or homogenize relatively inconsequential trivia in the mass media.
		The term "junk food news" suggests an unflattering similarity in quality of some stories selected by news editors and junk food (poor quality food stuffs).
		The term evolved from response to criticism of Project Censored by news directors and editors who argued that the real issue wasn't censorship - rather a difference of opinion as to what information is important to publish or broadcast.
