I don't pay much attention to Indymedia, but I suspect this is because 
they don't consider themselves a 'professional journalism' outlet, 
leaning much more toward the activist end of the spectrum.

An easy solution in this case would be for local PD and the feds not to 
infiltrate anti-globalization and anti-war groups.
