    Well if you look at the landscape of modern media, it’s pretty clear that the line between “just the facts” reporting and passionate activism has gotten really blurry. Sites like Raw Story tend to lean into the tabloid or “fast-paced” side of digital news for sure.

    But when you talk about Thom Hartmann, you’re looking at a completely different animal. He isn’t just a talking head; he’s a incredibly prolific author (American) who has spent decades building a reputation on “advocacy journalism”—which is basically reporting with a clear moral or political goal in mind.

      Ok so the publication is mixed, but this particular author has integrity and established credibility.

        That’s the way I feel, although others might feel differently. However, from my point of view, if he’s referencing this and putting it up there as journalism, then I would think it holds some weight.
