	The Unbearable Lameness of Project Censored
		Also misleading is Project Censored's central assertion that the mainstream media has ignored the stories the PC team has unearthed.
		Perhaps the greatest indicator that Project Censored has passed its prime is how high on the "no shit" scale most of this year's honorees will rank with even marginally informed readers.
		Not only is the project no longer run by journalists (it moved from the communications department to the sociology department with Jensen's departure) or effectively even about journalism, it has become more misleading than informative.

	Cuba Leads the World in Organic Farming - Project Censored 2001

	Introduction: Project Censored 25th Anniversary, by Noam Chomsky
		That such stories would tend to be downplayed, reshaped, and obscured —"censored," in the terminology of the project—is only to be expected on the basis of even the most rudimentary inspection of the institutional structure of the media and their place in the broader society.
		In the early years of Project Censored, about half the population felt that the government is run by "a few big interests looking out for themselves." During the Reagan years, as "neoliberal reforms" were more firmly instituted, the figure rose to over 80 percent.
		Like other major settlement projects of the Oslo period, Ma’ale Adumim has flourished thanks to the Labor doves whose magnanimity we are called upon to admire for their "concessions" in the territories they conquered in 1967.

		On the subject of the former Yugoslavia, Project Censored, I sadly concluded, had departed the terrain of the democratic Left for a netherworld of conspiracy theorists, Marxist-Leninist sects, and apologists for authoritarian regimes.

		The Censored archives and web display were created by Gary Evans, of Sebastopol, who Jensen describes as "an extraordinary fan and honorary archivist of Project Censored." The site makes clear that Project Censored is truly a unique and outstanding journalistic and academic achievement.

	The Free Press -- Independent News Media - Molly Ivins
		Project Censored is based at Sonoma State University, with both faculty and students involved in its preparation.

	AlterNet: MediaCulture: Time Up For Project Censored?
		Nelson spent most of his career in the mainstream press, but believes Project Censored is actually a "very useful" thing for readers, partially because, as he readily acknowledges, the mainstream press definitely has its share of failures and built-in biases.
		But for Project Censored critics, more than anything it has been the Project's perceived long leftward lean that has done the most damage to the its overall credibility, at least in the eyes of some in the journalistic world.
		Project Censored, Brugmann said, helps dramatize the fact that "there are enormous problems with media concentration, there are enormous problems with the Washington Beltway press corps, there're enormous problems with the way [mainstream media] handled the Bush administration and the war, there are enormous problems with the media."
