[IMC-Boston-Editorial] new feature?

hi,
  much has been going on on the site since the muslim cartoons came out. I think this is a well-though article of what's going on right now:
   
  When Freedom of Expression Becomes a Weapon
  http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/51482/index.php
  What is cause for real outrage is how the Western media also appears enthusiastic about making a storm-in-a-tea-cup of the comprehensible reaction by a small number of Muslims. Doing so, given the human catastrophe visited upon Iraq by the self-proclaimed “civilized world” and the subsequent anguish and humiliation experienced by Muslims, will likely exacerbate this situation, as the past 24-hours is making worrisomely evident.

Our “free-press” is currently offering neither context nor analysis when addressing Muslim reactions to these caricatures. The coverage of what had been tiny isolated protests and threats of violence has been anything but responsible. As such, these reports serve only to stoke the flames of hatred while keeping us in the dark. Our “free-press” is selling-out its stated mission, and its public, most cheaply. 
   
  peace,
  sofia
