'nessie' of SF-IMC "fame" is now at the editorial console. He posted the above exhortation a minute apart from the other poster's submission. That was very quick! Seems to confirm he's now editing.

The reason the other article by goosesteppers Mark Green and Wendy Klanbell wasn't hidden is because 'nessie' wanted to get even with Gehrig who had urged the editors to hide it. With both 'nessie' and 'toady' (also of indybay.org) at the helm, this IMC's days are numbered.

I think it was editor error.

by forgery or not? Tuesday, Aug. 01, 2006 at 12:00 PM

No matter who wrote it, it is clearly racist filth, and should have been deleted long ago. Why are the editors leaving it up? They've decimated the comments section left and right- they are editing with a heavy hand, yet they've left up something that is hate speech at the very least, or as likely forgery and hate speech.

Explanation editors? Shall we tell Indymedia watch on you?

No, that was not a mistake.

I hid that post because it reiterates what anybody can read, listen, and watch on the mainstream print, radio, and TV.

This is independent media. We give voice to people who have been shut off from the main stream media. If you want to read or listen to that kind of stuff go... about everywhere. That goes for the zionits too. They have their large platforms everywhere--government, media, including Hollywood.

The independent media have VERY LIMITED SPACE out there. Because of this, we keep that limited space for the side that you don't hear about on TV which happen to be the side that's always persecuted.

May be I do censor too much. But I think that most regular reader of this website come here because they want to hear about issues from a progressive stand point. And they don't want to be fed again with the same stuff that they see on TV.



What do you think?
