[IMC-US] What's the Matter with Indymedia?

[john duda]

While there are a lot of things that aren't quite correct in this
article, it's good to note that in the original context(LiP), it's
part of a special issue "Constructively Negative: Sacred Cows", in
which pretty much all the articles attack various things the left
takes for granted as being awesome:

"Featuring the gleeful evisceration of such sacred cows as pacifism,
organics, woman-centered feminism, work, representative democracy,
irony, and consensus, among many others." (from the website
http://www.lipmagazine.org/, describing the issue )

For alternet to reprint it out of this context is kind of shabby....
