[IMC-Editorial] What I've got on CNN filtering "indymedia" in their chat so far.

[Mr. Yak Milk]

Hi all. I'll paste everything I've got so far about CNN filtering the word
Indymedia out of their chat system at the bottom of this email.

   Precisely because I do not have 
   the beautiful words I need 
   I call upon my acts 
   to speak to you.

 Precisamente porque no poseo
 las hermosas palabras 
 necesarias procuro 
 de mis actos

[21:31] <cic-CNN> no
[21:31] <lIberTariAn> what were you referring to then?
[21:31] <cic-CNN> the news story
[21:32] <lIberTariAn> oh, I must have read wrong.
[21:32] <cic-CNN> ok
[21:33] <lIberTariAn> Say, do you know who we could call tomorrow morning to ask for an honest answer as to why the word 
  indymedia is being filtered from the entire newsroom chat? Someone came in and told us it's going on and there's about 6 
  of us trying to confirm it.

* Logging cic-CNN to 'cic-cnnz'
[21:34] <cic-CNN> no, i don't, and i don't know why it's filtered out 
[21:35] <lIberTariAn> I mean besides just calling Atlanta's front desk cold, could you help us figure out who to call?
[21:35] <cic-CNN> that's as good a place to start as any i suppose, they would know who to connect you to
[21:36] <lIberTariAn> well, we're willing to do that, but that's literally hours of voicemail and fonetag in it for us. I just thought you might know some shortcuts thru bureaucracy. :)
[21:37] <cic-CNN> sorry, i don't, and am ofter caught up in it too, and i work here :)
[21:37] <cic-CNN> often



[18:53] <---> http://www.indimedia.org which is mispelled on purpose because the correct spelling is banned

[19:08] <---> and finally, please ask Greta why the words   1ndymedia  and   cnns0rship  are banned from this chat.

[18:42] <---> is the word -ndymedia allowed in crossfire chat?


[18:44] <---> cnn hears you so long as you don't mention that banned independant media center
[18:44] <---> I called someone an " old goat " in here one night and sharonka CNN booted me so fast I thought she was Candyce CNN !!


[18:39] <---> if there is no silencing of minorites, why is the word indimedia, which i have to mispell on purpose, banned on this server?





  * I'm lIberTaniAn in this. CIC is a representive of the CNN cadre, so to speak. I've taken other nicknames out because
I didn't have a chance to ask them if they minded seeing thier names used for this.
