To be fair, Atomic Conspiracy pointed out that this information may have been a publicity stunt for April Fools.

I'm doing quite a few searches. I'm finding pdf docs showing that CBS and IndyMedia are sharing independent reporters, CBS has access to Indy's translation server, Indy stores media pieces for CBS at their server, and the story below went out translated to all their mirrored language sites. It was even picked up by list servers.

I think this was floated as a joke; but with truth behind it.

I belive it.

Indymedia.org team in merger talks with CBS/Viacom

Not to say there's any doubt in my mind that Soros and his little army of 527s are part of a larger co-ordination with the DNC and MSM.

Well, there's no doubt at all that various Soros-funded gangs are involved in Indymedia and there is quite a bit of overlap in personnel between the lamestream and the radical media. The establishment's showpiece in the latter category is Mother Jones, which has been a veritable training ground for lamestream "journalists" for many years.

Sharing independent reporters? Maybe NYT fraudster Jayson Blair will show up (/sarc).
