[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Fwd: 9/11 nuts and indymeida

[Jonathan McIntosh]

Sofia, 

Cool, feel free to edit away, I think your writing and especially grammar
are far better than mine.

I wasn¹t really gonna write anything either (as I was frustrated with the
event on a personally level) but wanted to give some context for my photos
and it just turned into a little article. I just don¹t like putting photos
up without some explanation of the event etc.

Yes video is not a fast medium, my short WB/IMF 2005 protest video took a
week to edit even working everyday. So time consuming.

Despite my frustration I thought this event was not the time or place to do
any in-depth investigative reporting on the various crazies in the Boston
left activism. Though sorting out what the various newspaper selling groups
stand for might be an interesting, if controversial, future BIMC article. I
think the activist/progressive/radical public should know what these
organizations stand for so they can than decide if they want to support them
or not. On the other hand their is the real possibility that any attention
will only encourage these groups. A handful of activists I have talked to
expressed interest in these type of investigative reporting into scary
groups, though I¹m still not sure its a good use of time.
