WHY DOES THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA CENTER ALLOW THE PIGS TO USE YOUR WEBSITE AS A FORUM FOR THEIR LIES ?

THE FOLLOWING WAS LIFTED FROM THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA CENTER WEBSITE

"The Independent media Center is a grassroots organization committed to using media production and distribution as a tool for promoting social and economic justice in Los Angeles County. It is our goal to give voice to those people under-represented in the mainstream media. We intend to illuminate and analyze local and global issues that are affected by the increasing corporate domination of American society and the subsequent erosion of democracy. We seek to generate alternatives to the current biases in the corporate media and to contribute to the development of an equitable and sustainable society."

SINCE WHEN DO VICIOUS ATTACKS ON MUMIA ABU JAMAL AND THE CUBAN PEOPLE "generate alternatives to the current biases in the corporate media and to contribute to the development of an equitable and sustainable society"?

IS THE INDEPENDENT MEDIA CENTER HYPOCRITICAL OR MERELY STUPID?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THE LAPD ALLOWED YOU TO PUBLISH THE TRUTH ON THEIR WEBSITE?

ITS TIME FOR YOU TO SMARTEN UP!

There is no need to censor this, or any indymedia site. Sometimes there are junk postings; this is a risk indymedia should take. Besides, how can you tell if someone is a cop? How do I know you're not a cop? The question is absurd. There is simply no way to tell with postings like this. Not everyone agrees with the positions of the activist left. Their voices should be heard too. Open dialogue is important if our goal is a more free, just, and democratic society. I think the indymedia sites should be organized like the phillyimc. There are seperate areas for news articles and editorials. In addition, there is a rating system. This makes it easier to bypass junk postings without censoring them.
