Indymedia

George Soros, CEO of Indymedia.org ltd has begun merger talks with the
CBS/Viacom News Network to help bring together the Vibrant Staff of the Independant News Network with the resources and Global Consumer Reach of the CBS news network.

This follows a meeting of the IMC Board of Directors and key Indymedia shareholders where it was decided that Indymedia needed to branch out from its traditional Liberal readership demographic to encompass more mainstream news interests and readerships.

Shayne Brown, president of the Asia Pacific Indymedia Consortium said "It's fine we have our loyal readership we do. We wouldn't of gotten where we are without them. But our growth has been marred by our inability to target advertising at the so called 'Soccer Mom' demographic"

I hope this is a joke

I really hope this is a joke from the onion. If you guys sell out we will have to rebuild all over again. I really hope this article is a joke.

april fool?
carl 01.Apr.2004 03:42

a joke, of course - isn't it?

No man. Its deadly serious
Shayne 01.Apr.2004 04:23

I thought it was a joke, but theres an anouncement on Reuters somewhere about it too.

Of Course It's a Joke
Today is My Birthday 01.Apr.2004 04:33

This is a joke and a fairly clever one at that. It is April Fool's Day after all.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

see title!

let us be the radicals indymedia cannot be
Blackbeard 01.Apr.2004 05:09

to the barricades, brothers and sisters...if our only hope has abandoned us, it should only strengthen our cause to struggle boldly without hope!!! it was inevitable that, as the indymedia network grew to be "to big for its britches," as we say here in texas, that it would ultimately surrender to the lucrative pressures of the capitalist market. i say who needs 'em! we will make our media of scraps of homemade hemp paper, scrawled upon with our blood sweat and tears, and delivered passionately by our molotov-charred hands, from one comrade to another! this does not deter me in the least--it only fuels my rage, a rage that can only be quenched by the rising tide of global revolution!!!"

It appears that there's trouble in paradise. And that's always a good thing.

Press releases on Illegals arrested for July 1st alone.

Let's not get too carried away here. A total of 46 arrests were made, 45 had to do with sex/prostitution. ONE had to do with a Mexican gang member.

Care to guess how many illegals crossed the border during this time?

ICE is not doing its' job. Maybe because they're hamstrung from above or maybe because of typical federal incompetence, but they're not doing their job.
