A pop quiz on current events (sort of)

I'll give you the top four items on this top-25 list--see if you can guess what the list is:

#1 Future of Internet Debate Ignored by Media

#2 Halliburton Charged with Selling Nuclear Technologies to Iran

#3 Oceans of the World in Extreme Danger

#4 Hunger and Homelessness Increasing in the US

Conversation topics at Al Gore's last dinner party? Citizenship Essay titles from Ms. Metzger's 6th grade class in Eugene, Oregon? Messages on T-shirts of the Air America staff as they were finally dragged from the building? Favorite charades titles at Rush Limbaugh's last sleep-over?

Nope. The fine folks at Project Censored have released their list of the Top 25 Underreported Stories of 2007 (not sure why it's 2007--maybe they wanted to get the jump on post-mid-term election pessimism).

And are those four not enough to push your buttons yet? Well, how about this:

#14 Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US

Or this:

#18 Physicist Challenges Official 9-11 Story

Or maybe this:

#24 Cheney’s Halliburton Stock Rose Over 3000 Percent Last Year

Well, you can check out the list, read the back-stories, and pick your own favorites.


(And how could explosive topics like these--not to mention, for example:

#11 Dangers of Genetically Modified Food Confirmed

--make it through without getting noticed? Well here's one hint.)
