The site you refer to is no more or less a "blog" than UK indymedia. The post is/was news at the time. Please explain how you determine the post was not news or that the post is "advertising" -- independent press groups would love to hear it!

indicates that the post is designed to advertise a post elsewhere, rather than to present news to readers of the indymedia uk newswire.

The editorial guidelines say:

and the link is just that.

Indymedia is not a 'blog' - its a newswire.
