This statement has been taken up and tweaked or supplemented to by several of the independent media centers, most recently in Windsor, Ontario. The Boston Independent Media Center is a collectively run media outlet for the creation of radical, objective and passionate tellings of the truth. We work out of a love and inspiration for people who continue to work for a better world, despite corporate media's distortions and unwillingness to cover the efforts to free humanity. The most radical aspect of this new movement is its non-heirarchical nature. The decision making is by consensus.
All participants are themselves empowered.
Public television's partication in these global discussions is pretty much limited to promotional advertisements for Archer Danials Midland. Miracle Gro, Amgen and other agro business companies. Public television is as presently constituted, incapable of almost any kind of reporting on the sort of systemic critique that this global movement represents. We have a nominally public communication apparatus that is structurely imbedded in the corporate system. Any sustained critique of that system cannot take place within that apparatus.
