One can get often information from the front lines, from "embedded" reporters. But, the opinion articles they publish are at best mediocre. And, you know why? Mainly because there are no authors. No one signs anything they write. You don't know who they are and that takes all the credibility. If they would write their names (also the people who maintain that site) it would be much more credible. That is my problem. :-) That is what I like about Indymedia.

I definitely take it with a grain of salt. I would rather not get my news exclusively from the major newspapers. Being out of the country, it's harder to get a large cross section of information. I also try to get opinions from my friends and cousins "on the ground". I like to read Indymedia and Narco News to get another perspective. I definitely take it with a grain of salt.

The thing I didn't like is that I read his writings in Indymedia Bolivia. I once found about Schultz doing some research. The thing I didn’t like is that I read his writings in Indymedia Bolivia.
