While the mainstream media fails time and time again to report on relevant news that the engaged public wants, occasionally a bomb-shell story finds its way out. Although often buried under tabloid headlines, mainstream admissions of important data can be uncovered.
Given the constant news of journalists and news executives being censored and even threatened over hard-hitting data in the corporate news world, including such people as Amber Lyons and Roger Ailes, information suppression in the shrinking mainline media becomes evident.
Although much of the “revelations” released in the mainstream media have been well known to those in the alternative media world, here are 10 fact based mainstream news stories that revealed important data to wake up your friends and family.

Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.”
