IndyMedia has been a pretty reliable source of information for this book. They seem to have some fairly good connections within the publishing business.

It's a liberal site, of course.

So web-based news sites are "good" according to the liberal establishment except when they are conservative news sites?

No, they haven't been, and the indymedia guy never directly claims to have received a review copy of the book. Please read the Daily News article I posted a link for -- most of the stuff that indymedia is claiming is in the book is *not* even mentioned in that article. And that article also specifically adds that there's nothing new in the Guard stuff -- if it quoted from those memos, it would have been mentioned. Besides, Texas Veterans for Truth just formed in the past week or two; how could they possibly be listed as a source for the book when they didn't exist when the book was written?

I want to see Dan Rather brought down as much as you do, but this indymedia source is not credible; all he's doing is recycling unproven rumors floating around on the internet.

Their role/non role in this notwithstanding. . .thought I would make a visit; have heard/read about this organization but never personally 'went there'.

A quick check of Indy Media and it's volunteer army of reporters/journalists/content share a radical Left/anti-America orientation.

Anyone know 'who' is/are the group that started this 'Independent media'?

Remember reading about this project; but right now; cannot find the 'who' of it. They do not mention names. . .

In their words. . .

[About Indymedia The Independent Media Center is a network of collectively run media outlets for the creation of radical, accurate, and passionate tellings of the truth.

We work out of a love and inspiration for people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity.]

a sampling. . .Re September 11:

[Alternative Remembrances of September 11 . . .While September 11 may be nearly impossible to forget, the right-wing in the U.S. has seemingly dominated the significance of that memory, equating it with the imperative to invade and occupy other countries, and to maim, torture and kill civilians abroad. . .

On September 11, 2004, actions will be held in various cities in the U.S., resisting the notion that the memory of September 11 legitimizes State-led and corporate-sponsored terror.]

Again.. .'Whose money/what 'group' sponsors this outlet. . .anyone?'
