[Boston-editorial] how do we feel about featuring reposts from CounterPunch

Hello all --

I'm wondering what people think about featuring this post 
http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/36758/index.php , which is 
reposted from CounterPunch. It's about a professor getting fired from 
Yale, apparently because of his anarchist politics--and falls within 
the New England region and thus the scope of our website. (This also 
hits home for  me as an aspiring anarchist academic.) I know we've 
agreed that we don't feature reposts from the mainstream press, but I'm 
not sure we have a clear position on reposts from other progressive 
publications/websites. So, should we feature this? (If we do so, 
obviously we put some of the interview material in the summary ahead of 
the call to sign the petition, to emphasize the news content.)
