So Hutton was OK until after he'd reported? Isn't it the slightest bit odd that he was a 'wise choice' right up until he gave the answer many here didn't like.
Would Indymedia (oxymoron in this particular case) have been so quick to condemn him if he'd found against the government?
Here’s their statement of policy
· Indymedia United Kollektives works on a non-hierarchical basis
· we reject all systems of domination and discrimination
· we acknowledge that the struggle for a better world takes many forms. The focus of the Indymedia UK collective is on grassroots politics, actions and campaigns
· Indymedia United Kollektives does not have any ties with political parties or larger NGO's
· we understand that by lobbying there will be no radical change. As a collective our attitude is assertive, and where necessary confrontational
· Inherent in the mainstream corporate media is a strong bias towards Capitalism's power structures, and it is an important tool in propagating these structures around the globe. While the mainstream media conceal their manifold biases and alignments, we clearly state our position. : Indymedia UK does not attempt to take an objective and impartial standpoint Indymedia UK clearly states its subjectivity.
So obviously an unbiased bunch then. I wonder if Private Eye’s Ken Spart works for them.
