So, you think corporate media is reporting the Truth? After learning that 5 to 6 corporations own nearly all media, whether print, cable, or online – you begin to realize the entire media machine is one orchestrated deception.
In honor of 9/11 Truth and the tireless efforts of all 9/11 Researchers, it seemed like re-posting of the last 2 years of the top censored news stories would be in the spirit of researching the Truth.

The main point of this article is that supporting alternative media is crucial to our common future, where the truth is fully reported – albeit not perfectly, but reported nevertheless.
While corporate media has a virtual monopoly on advertising revenue by and large, at the end of the day, it is YOU the reader that supports corporate media.
The choice to watch mainstream media in all its forms is yours. You can make a difference though, even if you support only one alternative media source, that’s enough to change the whole news and media paradigm.
The corporate and Zionist media understands that your time watching their media translates into enormous advertising revenue and they’ve created practically every kind of entertainment to keep you in ‘The Matrix’.
The days of corporate media credibility are over.
The top 25 censored news from Project Censored are listed here (2010-2011) to give you a view of what you don’t hear about – important news.
It’s important to realize that most of the censored stories from 2010 to 2012 were covered by theintelhub.com, including the globally censored meeting of the Bilderberg Group 2012.
There should be no doubt that the greatest enemy of the American People is corporate media – a machine constructed to control society. The power that mainstream media has is a result of an Agenda of Control, designed to control the individual awareness, thoughts and mind of every person on the planet – and your participation in that system sustains its existence.
9/11 should be remembered as ‘The Day the Media Died’. In fact, a conspiracy of silence and a criminal cover-up of 9/11 Truth, lasting over 10 years cannot be ignored. The 9/11 cover-up proves that a complete revolution in media is an idea whose time has come. Your support of Open Source Citizen Journalism will continue to change the world…
The Truth is – it might be our only hope.
The following lists the Top 25 Censored Stories from 2010 – 2011 as reported by Project Censored.

These gigantic media corporations do not exist to objectively tell the truth to the American people. Rather, the primary purpose of their existence is to make money. These gigantic media corporations are not going to do anything to threaten their relationships with their biggest advertisers (such as the largest pharmaceutical companies that literally spend billions on advertising), and one way or another these gigantic media corporations are always going to express the ideological viewpoints of their owners.
Lastly, Wikipedia covers the subject of the Concentration of Media Ownership with some good detail which is excerpted here.
Concentration of media ownership (also known as media consolidation or media convergence) is a process whereby progressively fewer individuals or organizations control increasing shares of the mass media.[1] Contemporary research demonstrates increasing levels of consolidation, with many media industries already highly concentrated and dominated by a very small number of firms.[2][3]
Globally, large media conglomerates include Viacom, CBS Corporation, Time Warner, News Corp, Bertelsmann AG, Sony Corporation of America, NBCUniversal, Vivendi, Televisa, The Walt Disney Company, Hearst Corporation, Organizações Globo and Lagardère Group.[4][5][6]
As of 2010, The Walt Disney Company is the largest media conglomerate in the US, with News Corporation, Time Warner and Viacom ranking second, third and fourth respectively.[7]

In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the vast majority of all news media in the U.S. At the time, Ben Bagdikian was called “alarmist” for pointing this out in his book, The Media Monopoly. In his 4th edition, published in 1992, he wrote “in the U.S., fewer than two dozen of these extraordinary creatures own and operate 90% of the mass media” — controlling almost all of America’s newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, books, records, movies, videos, wire services and photo agencies. He predicted then that eventually this number would fall to about half a dozen companies. This was greeted with skepticism at the time. When the 6th edition of The Media Monopoly was published in 2000, the number had fallen to six. Since then, there have been more mergers and the scope has expanded to include new media like the Internet market.
In 2004, Bagdikian’s revised and expanded book, The New Media Monopoly, shows that only 5 huge corporations — Time Warner, Disney, Murdoch’s News Corporation, Bertelsmann of Germany, and Viacom (formerly CBS) — now control most of the media industry in the U.S. General Electric’s NBC is a close sixth.

Media Ownership Study Ordered Destroyed
9/14/2006 3:08:18 PM ET
The Federal Communications Commission ordered its staff to destroy all copies of a draft study that suggested greater concentration of media ownership would hurt local TV news coverage, a former lawyer at the agency says.
The report, written in 2004, came to light during the Senate confirmation hearing for FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.
Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. received a copy of the report “indirectly from someone within the FCC who believed the information should be made public,” according to Boxer spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz.
