Hide and Seek
You can tell a lot about the editorial policy and complicity of Indy Sites such as the exciting sounding Thunder Bay, by having a look at what's hidden from public view (Indy Media's impotent substitute for deletion) and what's not.
For example, this article was hidden. Oh not because it said "JEWS DID 911 [sic]", but because it was posted repeatedly. Anti-Semitism gooooood, cross-posting baaaaad...
But what of the spirit of Indymedia, to it's Principles of Unity and to basic ethical behavior I hear you ask? I don't know, but this is a great read and really put the sanity cat among the conspiracy theorist pigeons.
