8. I'm not doubting that the ideas Ms. Coulter spouts are her own

Otherwise, you're right; she's a fraud.

If one reads her work, one finds facts that either aren't or are, at best, half-truths. Her use of invective is simply beyond the pale. Her work is to real journalism what hardcore pornography is to serious art: its value is in its ability to titillate or shock and otherwise doesn't really do anything for her audience.

Amy Goodman has an ideological bias; we all know what it is. However, she is not going to let her bias get in the way of disseminating facts. Ann Coulter is not going to let facts get in the way of propagating her ideological bias.

That is one way to tell the difference between a real journalist like Ms. Goodman and a rank propagandist like Ms. Coulter.
