Journalism or Activism?

An interesting story from the kids in the WOWO news room. 

A news story that, apparently, is also a call to action. 

The question really is, did WOWO merely cut and paste another press release......or is WOWO now practicing activist journalism?

While the reader is not instructed to act, per se, the inclusion of an active link in the story gives an advantage to one side and over the other. 


Before anyone gets their bowels in an uproar, a reliable source indicates this was merely a case of "cut and paste" journalism and not an attempt at activism. However, the Maven wonders why the story is still active and viewable.
