INDYMEDIA is censoring political speech or 'other' non-hateful opinions...what are rules ?

by freedomToWriteHere Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2009 at 10:54 PM

Indymedia staff has made "hidden" 3 comments that questions the value or depiction of some pix of Gaza travellers pretending to be heroes. What are the censorship rules here ? Who decides what is hidden and what is varied and diverse and even divergent speech? When the free censor each other, no one remains standing or breathing any free air. Check it out.

look at the site below, see the pix and their own plaudits, self applause and self adulation, and then click on "hidden posts" to see what is being censored here.

http://la.indymedia.org/news/hidden.php?id=224315

Is it 'hate speech' to disagree or question ?
None of the comments hidden says they are hateful when a few people with signs and scarfs promote themselves on this indymedia site.

Is it not following the so-called radical crowd that aligns with one site of any nation you want to name?

is this mass media's methods of keeping out of sight anything but the slant that they want to show and honor and propagandize or promote ?

what is going on here ?
If the NSA allows it and the FBI are not offended by these comments from various different people who do not even know each other, and if this is still America the Free Speech Zone....then why hide these ?

This is not the first time that someone personally chose to hide comments made or an article written.
The other time it happened was about an article about the Guadalupe historical story. Repeated requests were made to get information on WHY it was hidden and unfindable...and no one ever answered any emails or were acting responsibly.

What is it here ? Donations are given, articles and comments are written, and then "hidden" to stay on only one side of a conflict ?

Where are the staff responsible here ?
Are there any ?
Why is there never a direct response?
Does one have to go in person to confront whomever happens to be at the office to find out ?
with a....
grudge?
