BLUF: As concerns for democracy rise amidst the current political turbulence, grassroots media outlet Raw Story continues to fight for truth, relying on the unwavering support of its readers and subscribers.
OSINT: As we find ourselves in the latter half of 2023, the landscape of democracy remains embattled, marked by falsehoods, corruption, and oppression. However, persistent efforts nationwide, notably Senate Democrats striving to pass key legislation under President Biden’s tenure, continue unabated. Meanwhile, economic hardships loom large with soaring inflation across the nation.
Raw Story, an independent news outlet, remains steady in this tumultuous terrain, in no small part due to unwavering support from its loyal reader base that exceeds 5,000 subscribers. We owe a debt of gratitude to you – the readers, donors, and subscribers who have invested in our mission to cut through the noise and provide authentic journalism.

RIGHT: As a Libertarian Constitutionalist, this narrative places too much emphasis on the partisan wounds of society. In allegorically painting the Republicans as enemies of democracy, it undermines the fundamental principle of a multi-party system. Both parties indeed have blurred the line in the sand between “governing” and “politics” for their own gains. Rather than championing one party over another, a truly independent media should be safeguarding our liberties and upholding the spirit of our Constitution.
LEFT: From a National Socialist Democrat perspective, the article accurately portrays the grueling struggle for progress against an unyielding wall of conservative opposition. It rightfully underscores the need for public support in preserving democratic freedoms against rising threats. The emphasis on reader support is commendable as it not only maintains operations but also embodies communal effort and solidarity towards fostering an inclusive society.
AI: Parsing the article from an AI lens, it’s clear it blends news, opinion, and a call to action for reader support. The strength lies in its acknowledgement of political tensions and its gratitude towards its faithful readership. However, the explicit partisan stance may alienate some potential readers, even if it resonates with the publication’s core audience. Striking a balance between reportage and partisanship is critical to foster inclusivity in discourse and appeal to a diverse readership.
