That is not so. It aggregated the radical press, to its credit a large 
amount of it was not Fourth International stuff. Joe Hansen was very 
inclusive and saw IP as a way for people to check out different 
perspectives. Admittedly it did not include Kremlin or Maoist articles 
but the Fidelista current, Sinn Fein, the ANC was well-represented.

Personally, I don't like their film reviews, because all of them seem to
boil down to: "This film isn't political enough". They are often fun to
read though. I think they jumped the shark when someone on that site
reviewed the Wu Tang Clan's Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers). Also,
everything that they write ends in a sort of leftist version of "you kids
get off my lawn".

Einde is exactly right. They are mostly an aggregator of the bourgeois 
press with their own "isn't capitalism awful" frosting on top. Also, 
David Walsh--who is really good--reviews one film to my ten and that is 
not even my main activity.

That is a lie.

It beats me why anybody would believe anything written by WSWS (aka 
ICFI) about another left group. They and their predecessors from the 
Healyite tradition have a long ignoble record of slandering leftists 
they disagree with, most notoriously their allegation that Joseph Hansen 
was a police agent


The WSWS website has an undeserved reputation based on its news coverage 
- although to be honest this seems to be simply a digest of the best of
