Caitlin — ALL of your writing is a sloppy mess. (not that I bothered to read this — I mostly skimmed). Here is the thing: Perhaps you are under the impression that what is written about you in truthout or truthdig matters but the dealio is this — there isn’t much truth in either of those rags. Your writing is a sloppy mess for many reasons, one being you don’t follow the wise adage write what you know. Seriously Caitlin, you aren’t a journalist. And the likely reality is that the lefty and progressive journalists and muckrakers you read and get your information from cannot discern what reality is in the present. They likely cannot distinguish between fact and fiction, as evidenced by what they write and publish, and it’s likely that one contributing factor is that ideology or political leaning comes first for them, not facts or truth. If that isn’t what is going on, well then they deliberately obscure the truth and facts. Take your pick. Neither is very good, is it?
You do not write really good articles period. You mostly write gibberish. Stop calling yourself a “rogue journalist”. Or alternately if you really want to be a journalist, go out and do some independent real research and tell a true story instead of this movementy incoherent garbage you produce.
Here is a tip: a most interesting movement to look into right now is the anti-fracking pipeline resistance movement. It lies like mad and is a serious societal problem right now.
