Stories you WON'T see in the mainstream press today

One the main points of the book is that you cannot (and should not) rely on the mainstream media exclusively for your information. Why not? Because it is owned and operated by corporations, which clearly have a bias in terms of keeping some things out of the news.

So, you can check out alternative sources on the left or right of the political spectrum, as well as objective advocacy journalism organizations for stories about powerful people that do not tend to appear in the mainstream news.

Here are some examples from today...now why would the corporate owned media NOT be interested in such stories?
