A look at recent sins of omission and sins of commission of the mainstream news media.
For *omission*, we look at some of the stories in the latest report by Project Censored. For *commission*, we explore the rash of recent stories warning of shortages of particular branded products--Butterball turkeys, Sriracha sauce, and now Velveeta!
Plus a clip from Project Censored's movie, a news story in song by David Rovics, and an update on the great toilet paper shortage of 1973.
