How far down the slope does Boston IMC intend to slide?
I turn to indymedia because I want to know the truth, I want to know what's happening in the world without the corporate media filter. I do not want to be co-opted, lied to, or sold off to advertisers. And here on Boston IMC, I find a fucking CORPORATE MEDIA CREDIT CARD LOGO staring me in the face. What the FUCK? You would never, ever ever find such a thing on Portland indymedia.
Every compromise you make, every time you trade your dignity, your principals, your soul for a dollar, you are making a mistake. This is how it starts.
Boston, you cannot be radical media with a corporate logo on your front page. What is wrong with you?

Re: HEY! There's a f***ing VISA/MASTERCARD logo on the FRONT PAGE!
The "truth" is -- since you want to know the truth -- you can donate to the Baltimore IMC in various ways, and one of the ways you can donate is by using a major credit card. We're not necessarily _encouraging_ ownership of a credit card, but if you have one, you can use it. Do you really have a problem with that? Should we only take cash, or, better yet, homegrown Work Credits?
We also have a bank account, so I suppose we're endorsing banks. And we use an ISP, so I guess we're endorsing them. I think our server is a Dell. And sometimes we use Bic pens to take notes at meetings. I suppose one cannot be radical if one uses Corporate Pens.
Perhaps for the next software upgrade, we will simply write all of our articles in the sand, with a stick, just to remain natural and "off the grid".
Oh, and by the way, you're posting to the BALTIMORE site, idiot.
