Vote Now On Project Censored's Junk Food News!
The time has come to vote on Project Censored's 20th Anniversary Junk Food News and News Abuse Chapter. You have the opportunity to help us vote on the top stories for the upcoming edition of our book.
Junk Food News refers to the tabloid and celebrity-obsessed stories that fill our heads with mindless information that distracts us from the current state of affairs in the world.
The mainstream media relays important news stories in an abusive fashion by overexposing the story and flooding media outlets throughout the nation.
Please give us your input by selecting 5 top stories from our list for both the Junk Food News and News Abuse categories. When selecting, please use the name, not the number. You may also add your own nominations to the lists if you wish.
===================================== Send your selections for each category in an email titled "Junk Food News" to censored3 at sonoma.edu by April 7th! One ballot per person please. =====================================
