I spend a lot of time wondering what "independent media" is supposed to be
Independent Media is basically anything that's not owned by Disney/ABC, Viacom, NBC Universal, CBS, Newscorp (Fox), or Warner Bros.
In theory, on the internet, anybody can set up their own website and release their material.
But in terms of sheer scale, every online punk zine combined doesn't have half the reach of each of the 'independent' websites funded by some natural gas lobbying firm or ghoulish right wing family (other than the Murdochs) or supplement company sold exclusively through a pyramid scheme.
And how independent were some of those media really when they were crying they couldn't exist without the USAID regime money?
