a MILLION times this. all journalists are activists. the very act of journalism is activism. you think people should know about a thing that happened, so you write about it.
but it's only seen as "activism" if it goes against the status quo. working to maintain the status quo is still activism!!!!!

fwiw I think all the Ivy League educated white dude journos are activists for their way of life—the status quo—they just also get to define what "objectivity" is. Only a person as privileged as Peter Baker can brag about not voting because "bias," as if being in the news nullifies citizenship.
