Indymedia Censorship Policy

Authored by Michael Pate on August 25th, 2003 at 1:00 PM

I don’t know if this is just specific for the NYC Indymedia, or if it happens at the other sites, but I was under the impression that Indymedia stood for free speech, free press, the right to speak out and print the news stories and opinion you wanted to without any capitalist pig editor hanging a red marker over your head. Or something like that. Yet the NYC Indymedia hides posts on a daily basis, and not all of them are pro-Israel or pro-Bush; some of them are decidedly leftists posts. I’m just curious as to why this organization that so cries at every turn how our freedoms have been diminished since 9/11 and screams They are stifling my dissent! at every turn is so knee-jerk and free-wheeling with their own editing policies. - Michele
