Project Censored

Co-host Chase Palmieri takes a turn as a guest, to explain his latest project - www.credder.com.
On this site, readers can evaluate news stories, thereby creating a rating system for journalism 

akin to how restaurants are rated by customers on Yelp. 

Notes: 

 

Chase Palmieri is the co-host of the Project Censored Show. For the past several years, he has been 

working on an internet-based system for works of journalism to be evaluated by readers. 

He has previously been a guest on the program to explain www.tribeworthy.com, an earlier version of Credder.

The site is planned to go into full operation in late May.

 

On this week's program, we hear a speech by the legendary political activist and consumer-rights advocate 

Ralph Nader. Nader outlines some of the most critical problems facing Americans, including exorbitant military spending, 

out-of-control corporations, and thousands of annual deaths in the workplace, or from lack of health care coverage. 

But then he names some individuals who've made a difference in recent U.S. history, explains what students 

can accomplish on campus, and how voters can hold legislators accountable. Nader spoke on March 5, 2018 at 

Sonoma State University in northern California, as part of the campus's annual Social Justice Week Lecture Series.

Historian Peter Kuznick returns to the Project Censored Show to discuss 

the newly released second edition of The Untold History of the United States.

The new material  covers the period from 2012 through 2018.

In the interview on this week's show, Kuznick addresses issues including

nuclear arsenals, climate change, Trump and Russia, and the leadership vacuum 

in the U.S. and worldwide.

 

Notes:

 

Peter Kuznick is Professor of History at American University in Washington DC,

and directs the Nuclear Studies Program at that institution.

He and Oliver Stone wrote the groundbreaking book The Untold History of the United States,

and also produced a Showtime documentary series based on the book.

their allies are working to redefine "media literacy" in ways that promote their interests, 

while screening out complete critical analyses of the influence of media in society.

Each year's Project Censored volume includes a chapter on "junk-food news" -- trivial or scarcely-significant stories 

that receive disproportionate coverage on corporate media, thereby crowding out more-significant issues. This week's 

Project Censored Show features three of the researchers for the junk-food news chapter of Censored 2019, to examine 

the insidious social effects of junk-food news, and to discuss their work and this year's chapter.

The video-news service "In the Now" had its Facebook page suspended after a CNN story accused 

an "In the Now" host of being biased in favor of Russian government positions, owing to the network 

receiving funding from RT. Why did CNN try to hamper another news organization?
