The Charleston Citizen

The Charleston Citizen functions as a partisan right-wing fundraising newsletter that operates like an activist media outlet rather than a mainstream newspaper. In the processed material it dispatches activist-reporters such as Edgar Drumm to stage ambush interviews, extract provocative soundbites, and manufacture or amplify smears that mobilize donors and damage political opponents, including attacks that target the President's family. Its structure appears informal and activist-driven, with low journalistic legitimacy and explicit partisan goals.
