I'm sure I could drag this out into a well documented and supported conclusion merely by comparing hidden articles with ones that remain, but that's time consuming and there's at least a 50% chance this article will be hidden because, "God forbid anyone question the integrity of indymedia."

I ask all of you to look at this website under a critical eye, and I believe you'll find indymedia is at least as biased as Fox news, but probably more so.

I wrote an article a few months ago in response to the Minutemen protest. The title of the article called the Minutemen an "anti-immigrant" group, which they're not, they're anti-illegal immigrant. There's a big difference, regardless of whether or not you want there to be. For those of you who don't know the Minutemen is highly controversial because they are vigilantes, they patrol the boarders (north and south) and try to stop hired illegals in a kind of protest to the goverment's lack of response to the poor secuirty on the boarders.

My article has several major points, one being the Minutemen are anti-illegal immigrant, not just anti-immigrant which is seemingly what all the Commies and Anarchists want people to think. Now why would they lie? Another lie they spread is that this a white-supremist group. I gave a link to their homepage which states they don't condone or want support from racists. It should aslo be noted that the group fights illegal-immigration of all kinds, including that of European people. They're white too aren't they? Seems like just another example of the left being quick to pull the "racist" care in an attempt to gain support for their questionable cause.

I also talked about the Minutemen as having members who indeed are minorty and immigrant. The immigrant members state that they are upset people are trying to cheat the system. I'd be mad too if I waited and filled out forms and went to interviews and had background checks and medical exams to get into this country and there were other people who thought it was ok to bypass all that.

I also stated that one of the speakers at the meeting in Arlington Heights was the mother of a murdered boarder patrolmen. He was shot by gang bangers trying to transport coke into the country. Are the protesters calling her a racist too? This poor woman who has no son for what? A few kilo of cocaine. Are you proud of calling her that? Perhaps she's not a racist, and perhaps her son just wanted to keep criminals and drugs out of the country.

The article was hidden. I e-mailed one of the big heads about it and recieved no response. Indeed my article did a good job questioning the basis of this protest.

I started looking at other hidden articles. Yes some of them were stupid, but some were just as valid as mine. I ask the people who want valid articles to be hidden to engage a dsicussion with the author, not to ingnorantly call them a "racist" and then censor them.

I consider myself a liberal but everyday I continue to see flawed tactic and flawed logic and I understand why someone so obviously bad as George Bush has been able to hold for so long. I ask Indymedia and the left to stop committing the same crimes they accuse their compeition of, to truley be an open newswire, to be unbiased, to not censor, to not censor, to not censor. I know you people may burn the flag but do you really believe in the First Ammendment?
