Police barricade whitehall

Any other news so far I heard only stuff from the BBC. I would have thought someone would've posted some picture or report on here. It appears to forgotten and unpublished event.

sounds like you could've done with more people, strange don't you think that this event wasn't publish. I sure the old MI5 doing it's old tricks of the trade.

Why should Indymedia bother to cover something that has full coverage by the mainstream media? It is the stuff that the mainstream ignores or suppresses that is important to show.

In the US, it's time for the second American Revolution to get rid of these terrorists. The GOP is on its way to stealing a *third* presidential election, with the help of the corporate-owned media.

"Why should Indymedia bother to cover something that has full coverage by the mainstream media?" - I would've thought this'd be pretty obvious...suppose it depends how you define "full coverage", if the mainstream media actually did cover ALL aspects of a story there wouldn't be much point in indymedia touching it, but in situations where the mainstream media might just possibly give a biased or distorted picture - i.e., pretty much any situation ever, but especially one involving protestors/radicals/dissent - then it seems worthwhile hearing from people who're actually involved.

"The Indymedia network began with a single news-gathering office and web site set up to
provide alternative ‘from the streets’ reporting of the demonstrations surrounding the
1999 Seattle WTO meetings. The intention was to provide a central location and web site
for collecting and publishing reports by the activists themselves, serving as a counterbalance
to the mainstream media coverage, which was widely expected to present a
traditionally biased interpretation of events both inside and outside of the conference
center (Uzelman, 4 and docs.indymedia.org)."

itsme clearly hasn't thought this through....... compare the mainstream media coverage with the accounts on Indymedia - are they telling the same story?

Indymedias frequently provide coverage of large protests - its not just about reporting the stuff that the MSM ignores, its also about reporting the events from the perspective of those involved in the protests.

To start with, newswire items covering the demo seemed to be mere repetitions of mainstream coverage but the latest efforts, critical of the State and its police, are much better and more to the point.
