[IMC-Boston-Editorial] right-wing postings on our site

[Sofia JarrinT]

Hey there,
  
  As of late I've seen many postings to mainstream news against Islam,  Hamas, etc. I have a feeling someone (because I doubt there's more than  one person) is cleverly using other press to post their own right-wing  views about this.  Not that it's not ok to have those views (I  mean, whatever), but as I understand it our site is not a repository  for right-wing news...  What do the other editors think?
  
  So, for example:
       Death by a Thousand Lawsuits: Islamic Lawsuit
  http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/49811/index.php
  
  This is a well-written article originally posted on the Washington  Times, but as I did more research on it, it so happens that is an Op-Ed  by one of Bush's cronies. Needless to say, I don't believe half of what  he says (the way he quotes the Boston Herald kind of gave it away...).
  
  I also just hid this article:
       Hamas Rising And Their Promise to Exterminate the Jews
  http://boston.indymedia.org/newswire/display/49821/index.php
  
  Which is clearly one-sided. The author P. David Hornik is a freelance  writer and translator living in Jerusalem who has contributed recently  to The Jerusalem Post, The American Spectator Online, and Israeli news-views websites.
  
  I mean, I wouldn't have a post there from an extremist Palestinian  either... It just doesn't do any good to actually understanding the  conflict, but rather demonizes one group over the other.
  
  what do you think?
  
  peace,
  Sofia
