Indymedia: well known as a center of unmoderated, virulent anti-Americanism, Jew-hatred, and conspiracy madness, one of the very worst places on the web. They’ve been investigated by the FBI, and European intelligence services have confiscated their servers. A cop killer was caught after he bragged about the murder on Indymedia—and there were lots of reader comments supporting him.

In 2003, after numerous complaints, the leftists who run Google News were forced to drop Indymedia from their index of “news sources.”

But now Google News must have decided the heat has died down. Because they have deliberately reinstated Indymedia as a source.

As Indy Media Watch puts it, Google Discredits Itself. It’s another disgraceful episode in a long story of ignominy.
