BLUF: While Raw Story sustains its commitment to democracy and truth amidst the challenges of current times by providing reportage on pressing issues, it seeks continuance of its fight through the backing from its subscribers and cordially solicits support through donations to ensure its survival in the fast-fading journalistic industry.
OSINT: Progressing into the second part of 2023, democracy’s fight remains. Misinformation, corruption, and violence are the trials as Senate Republicans strive to curb Democrats from implementing popular measures under President Biden’s leadership. The surge in living costs and the threat to our rights has rallied Americans to counteract rising fascism and advocate for fair representation.
Raw Story has navigated these tumultuous waves, grateful for the unwavering support from its subscriber base exceeding 5,000. The platform expresses deep appreciation to its readers, subscribers, and donors for their commitment. If the reader is unable to make a contribution, the platform values their readership. However, any possible subscription or donation helps maintain the sanctity and survival of its newsroom. With a $10 monthly or $95 one-time donation, one can access ad-free reportage from Raw Story and AlterNet, including exclusive investigations, and more.
RIGHT: The Libertarian Republic Constitutionalist’s viewpoint might question the transparency of Raw Story’s actions while acknowledging the requisite of its survival for the endurance of a democratic society. This perspective may raise concerns over the apparent bias in Raw Story’s narratives, arguing that financial contributions should not be requested from readers who may already be under economic strain during such times. By doing so, they may argue, Raw Story could be indirectly exerting influence over the less financially stable segment of its readership.
LEFT: On the other hand, a National Socialist Democrat would likely empower the platform, emphasizing the significance of independent journalism and the dissemination of less biased narratives to counter the rising tide of fascism. The persistent fight for democracy and the struggles to pass meaningful measures under President Biden’s leadership resonate with this stance. They may see Raw Story as a necessary counterbalance, requiring support to challenge the persistent threat of eroding civil liberties.
AI: The call for financial support in sustaining independent journalism portrays the struggle of smaller organizations against larger, more extensive news corporations. With the overt presentation of one-sided perspectives, the narrative bias is clear. Reducing such bias can help increase the platform’s credibility. The use of direct donation links in such actions can be seen as an attempt to maintain monetary independence from potentially influential interests. Therefore, Raw Story’s struggle represents a systemic issue within the journalism industry—balancing the pursuit of truthful reporting while maintaining financial viability.
