My friend Ben informs me that the article I wrote last year, This American Life Whitewashes U.S. Crimes in Central America, Wins Peabody Award,” received an honorable mention in Project Censored 2015s compendium of “news that didn’t make the news.” And as far as I can tell, it’s also the only entry that’s centered entirely on exposing another news outlet’s much-acclaimed coverage for the sham that it was. The piece may be the most scathing assault I’ve written, and after rereading it, I still think the mountains of scorn heaped on Ira Glass were entirely justified. Also, the history section of U.S. military involvement in Guatemala remains a useful resource with a lot of links to some of the best scholarship and reporting on the issue. projectcensored.org/censored-2015-honorable-mentions/
