If you’re tired of the “corporate media bias” of Fox, CNN, and the New York Times (peas in a pod, they are), you’ll want to know what we folks here in N.C. are supporting through UNC to challenge and breack up their dangerous monopoly on news. For example, today our publically supported “citizen journalists” offer the following items on the front page of chapelhill.indymedia.org, the site receiving UNC’s support:

? Fascists Don’t Resign. They Must Be Removed II. ? wherein the “civic journalist” reports that “On September 11th. 2001 the Bush regime and the U.S. Military murdered 2800 Americans in New York City” and proceeds to make the familiar case at chapelhill.indymedia that it’s time for people to take up arms against the president and conservatives, to get “down and dirty confrontational in the streets of America” and start “knocking heads,” because “only direct confrontation can reverse the work of the fascism the Bush Regime and the U.S. Military is sowing in America.”

? RELIGION AND UNITY-STRUGGLE-UNITY WITH PROGRESSIVE RELIGIOUS FORCES ? wherein the “reporter,” who coincidentally is the “Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA,” tries to reconcile Communism’s rejection of Christianity in general with the desirability of Communists employing “progressive Christians” to fight a proxy war against fundamentalist Christianity, which in keeping with the style of Communists everywhere he terms “Fascism.” Communists must “help and enable these people to maximize their own positive aspect and their contributions to the overall struggle” even though they “should struggle with them ideologically,” the chairman reports. And of course the article ends with the obligatory “and ultimately the world overall.”

? osama my buddy where are you ? wherein the “media democrat” gushes,

Osama you have made history. You are the first Arab world leader and the first leader of Muslim Umah, the rest are pimps of American imperialism and are facilitating rape and degradation of the their own national resources. … Millions of Muslims worldwide take your word as their gospel. You are the voice of Arabistan, you are voice of Asia, and you are the leader of the brown race on this earth.
