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

[Tarik Abdelazim]

that certainly adds a new twist to it, huh?

thanks for grounding the article, john.

to be honest, though, there is much i find relevant in
her article. but rather than "dump" and forget
indymedia as obsolete, i accept the challenge to make
it meaningful.

ever onward, patiently,
tarik
