Indymedia Practises Censorship

[Bristol] Maccabean | 06.06.2010 13:22

One view or no view?
A few days ago we published a list of facts in regards to Israels position on the flottilla incident titled 'Flotilla Facts' Unfortunately Bristol Indymedia removed it after only two days. This is censorship of the worst kind and only allows one point of view to be aired. SHAME ON YOU!
It is important to understand that in the modern world information flows at a furious pace. This has its benefits as well as its drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that at times opinions can be formed before the complete picture can come out. In the case of Israel it tends to happen in a disproportionate way. The independent media is in a position to counter this unprofessional approach and thus allow all the information to get out to the public thus helping them to form well informed opinions. This will not work though if these supposed Indy Media outlets perform censorship and only allow one direction of opinion to be expressed. If Bristol Indymedia is for real then I demand that you reinstate my previous article and not become part of the problem.
