Indy Media: The Radical Left's "Cyber-Grapevine"
Interesting article in Front Page Magazine which explores Indy Media's origin and various other deceptive myths about it that would be of interest to sponsors.
Indymedia was set up to fill a void in the corporate media. An idea I thought long overdue. Unfortunately, as a largely unmoderated, unrestricted medium it was promptly over-run by bigots, trolls and Nazis confusing free-speech with hate-speech. I believe the Indy Media experiment has failed. As Indymedia claims it keeps the corporate media honest, I decided it was time someone watched Indymedia instead. Be careful... You may not like what you see.
