Censored 1996: The News That Didn't Make The News -- And Why covers the important stories you won't find in your newspaper or on the evening news.

Readers will learn how telecommunications deregulation is closing up America's "marketplace of ideas", why the budget doesn't have to be balanced on the backs of th poor, how child labor in the U. S. is worse today than during the 1930s, the truth about the privatization of the Internet, the billions that are being spent to add bang to nukes, Newt Gingrich's radical plan to gut the FDA, Russia's policy of injecting nuclear waste into the earth, the annual cost of medical fraud, the ozone-killing pesticide the U. S. chemical industry is fighting for, what the effect of NAFTA has really been so far. In addition to the top 25 censored stories, Censored 1996 features censored stories from past years that have since received mainstream media coverage, what the oceans of ink for "junk food news" covered at the expense of real news, an eclectic chronology of censorship since 605 B. C. , top censored books of the year, a censored resource guide of alternative media and organizations active in censorship issues, publishing outlets for the underexposed, and unexpurgated reprints of the Top Ten censored stories.
