Indymedia Censor Keeps Quiet

Harry Hamlet | 26.10.2004 21:26

InyMedia censor several comments and a Julie Burchill article about John Peel.

I was sadden to hear that IndyMedia have censored several comments on the late John Peel: anything negative about him has been removed , and no explanation given. They have a duty to explain why.

IM are making it appear that Peel is a patron Saint of IndyMedia, which is ridiculous, because he was an establishment figure.

Is this the day Indymedia, chuffed with being a victim of the FBI, and full of their success at the ESF, slipped off the rails?

One minutes not there, then voila, a technical glitch know doubt you'd say, if you could get a word in edgeways. Or must I have been seeing things, or not seeing things in this case.

I see The Burchill article has reappeared, this time linked, rather than the text, itself. I guess the editorial rule on including old texts in full had been breahed, or something equally as banal, yehhhh, sure!

You have to get up very early in the morning to catch out IM. Anyway, good test you lot are on he ball.

And ... mmmm ...another 1/2 apology, I suppose.

I'll go listen to some Jethro Tull to calm me down before tablets and bed. The Bourgeois Peel never understood the significance of workin class gods Tull, and ignored all my requests to play the classic 'Aqualung', philistine.
