This is a site for news, not reproduced stuff from newspapers, in future a link will suffice,
Eoin Maher
The article wasn't reposted - a concise summary and a link was given. This is a follow on from an earlier Indymedia.ie story
http://www.indymedia.ie/cgi-bin/newswire.cgi?id=1939
and i was very interested to get an update.
If I _just_ post a link then how do you know if you want to click it or not? I summarised in a very concise way. Also I don't understand your implication that this is not news somehow.
You can provide a summery and context for the article and then provide a link. If the reader is interested enough they will click on the link.
Palast is an honourary member of IMC Ireland co-op and one of the best journalists on the planet.
This reposting is good and is mannerly in all ways - leave this guy alone - or I'll get greg to gang up on yiz
look above! That's EXACTLY what I did and what Eoin is complaining about. See the short summary giving context and the link attached to it, or am I misunderstanding what you're saying?
Thanks Glutton Man
I think your summary was very helpful especially as there is nothing in the link to tell anyone that this is an article by Greg Palast. I really don't get the point made by Eoin, if you had just put the link I mightn't have bothered going to have a look.
As it happens I was waiting to hear Greg Palast's angle on the coup in Venezuela as he saw it coming for a while. Furthermore your last sentence was important as it informs people who the man is and any publicity for him can only be a good thing as he is in the business of hunting down the hard facts about the rotten people at the top. So thanks again
