Yes, an extensive list, but nothing compared to the information provided on that site, to explain each item. They even give references and links to sources. It's been a long time since I've see a "Top" list include this much info. Don't go if you're only in the mood for the quick read you find on most other end-of-year lists. These people really did their homework. But then, they're a media watchdog group, so all they really had to do was look over the material they'd already collected throughout the year.
