Open Letter to Indymedia.org


I posted an article on the Portland Indymedia about Christian youth and their music. Particularly Christian punk, metal, rap and hardcore. It was titled "Underground culture - JCHC Punx / Metal / Hardcore / Rap" I also posted an article announcing a Demon Hunter concert. None of these were against your publishing guidelines which read as follows



portland indymedia worker drones reserve the right to hide posts that:



1. advocate criminal activity indicating a specific time, place and/or manner

2. are duplicate posts (the most recent remaining on the newswire)

3. are obviously libelous or slanderous

4. interfere with the technical functionality of the website

5. are intended to disrupt the site

6. are empty posts (no content or gibberish)

7. are commercial advertisements

8. promote racism, homophobia, sexism, or other discrimination.

9. are obviously incorrect or misleading, including attempts to spread dis-information

10. are reposted from corporate media outlets



Other posts might be composted accordingly.



obviously, you have a blatant bais against cultures and beleifs that you do not agree with (namely anything Christian) that contradicts the "rainbow family ideas" or "new age philosophy". Indymedia, you advertise yourself to be an open newswire. It is obvious that you practice censorship. This is hypocrisy and makes you no better than CNN or FOX News, only this is a news outlet run and dominated by the left, just like MSM is corporate run. Both have bad bias and your "news" is so badly distorted. You stand for equality, yet you discriminate.
