I don't know why you'd need a blood pressure pill, unless
you couldn't imagine the possibility of U.S. media being
biased toward the conservative side of things. Which, in my
opinion, they are.

That said, "Project Censored" definitely isn't mainstream.
And for years they have been abusing the word "Censored." I
see a distinction between being forcibly prevented from
covering a story (that's censorship) and from not covering
it because of inertia or bias. The stories which "Project
Censored" picks out to publicize HAVE been published, but
not in the mainstream U.S. media.
