Journalism must break the chains of objectivity and report truth -- and the Occupy movement led me to do just that
I was in complete agreement when, last month, the triumvirate of right-wing firebrands Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart all condemned me for being more than just a journalist. They are correct, and I agree with every pundit who argues that I have no place in the mainstream media.
On Oct. 14, I appeared on a panel at the radical, feminist Blue Stockings bookstore in New York’s Lower East Side. Hosted by Jacobin Magazine, the discussion addressed left-wing politics and strategy. During the event, I criticized old-left styles of organizing and praised — with some ardor — the experimental nature of Occupy Wall Street. I also dropped “F-bombs” in abundance.
Stumbling out of the bookstore onto Allen Street after the debate, I hugged an old friend, who has been heavily committed to Occupy activities in New York. “I think I just watched you lose your job,” he said.
“I know,” I replied, with a smile.

Correction: Why I Quit the Dominant Liberal Establishment Mass Media - DLEMM

It might be the two glasses of wine, but all I got was “I’m a lefty journalist, but now I’m going to freelance”
I am incredibly lucky to have interned and worked for institutions like the New York Times and Politico; the training, exposure and practice that these publications offer are in many ways unparalleled.

You know, sometimes the facts can get in the way of the truth.
Didn’t phase my Mac!
“F**K THIS SH!T! We want something different: a different life, with different values, or at least a chance at different values.”
So what’s your problem? You already have different values. You are also free to have a different life, so long as it doesn’t involve disrupting somebody else’s life. Hint: No defacating on somebody else’s lawn, Natasha.
I wasted 5 minutes of my life reading that. I could have cleaned out the gunk under my fingernails and gotten more out of it.
What a load of tripe.
You know what I'm talking about.
Reading the comments was enlightening.
Leftists really are mentally disturbed.
She can defecate on my lawn, as long as she brings her own doggy bag.
Okay, well.. uh... they're re-running the same experiment to see if they get different results this time, OK?
"Not Guilty"
“What a load of tripe.”
It sure is. It’s such a rambling, confusing piece. And she is supposed to be a journalist. She doesn’t know who she is.
