[IMC-Video] indymedia and google

[Mike]

The response they gave me years ago was that there was
too much unfiltered junk on the newswire:
uncorroborated conspiracy theories, racist spam, etc. 
Not the stories that we work hard on, but the ones
that trolls & nuts post on every IMC.

The unofficial reason was that Indymedia stories were
turning up high in their lists due to the networked
nature of indymeida combined with the spam tendencies
of many of the posters.

Many IMCs have changed their editorial practices since
then, hiding or deleting spam.  This may be why google
news does have some IMCs up now, like argentina &
ireland.
