RobyoIndymedia is cool. We tried getting one going in Rockford, but people don't have a clue out here…
I remember it being more of a presence when I lived on the West coast.
It was a WTO meeting in Seattle in '99 that ended up in riots and yeah, the police trashed the indymedia there, but not before a whole lot of people taped the event. 🙂
I remember hearing about the G8 thing in Italy where some people died.
But since then, we've been in two wars and likely to start another one soon… Why aren't more people pissed and being active? Zombified by television?
A big problem started when the FCC changed the rules in the 90's on how many media outlets a corporation can own. Now we have serious consolidation of media by only a handful of people…
At least the internet is awesome for getting the word out…for now.
