Jim Heath TV
Jim Heath TV is a political blog based in the United States. It was founded in 2015 and published by Jim Heath,[1] a broadcast journalist and political analyst, and author of the books, Front Row Seat At The Circus: One Journalist's Journey Through Two Presidential Elections and Mylo the Panda Travels to Washington, D.C.
In an interview with C-SPAN,[2] Heath described his website as "a place for people interested in government to get their latest campaign, political and election related headlines." As a longtime political journalist, Heath said he also incorporates his own "interviews with news makers, plus analysis on the news of the day."
Heath is quoted in Havasu News on why he created the site: "We live in an era where 'fake news' is a slogan tossed around by people who don't want to read the truth. Our goal on the website is to highlight only credible, sourced information. A political reporter’s job is to challenge an elected official, make them explain policy decisions, hold them accountable for mistakes, and explore what it is, exactly, they want to do for the future. None of that is bias. It’s journalism. And both sides complain regularly about it."
Readership[edit]
Jim Heath TV is officially non-partisan. Heath told C-SPAN [3] that while he had a background working in the Republican Party in 1990's, since 2000, when he entered broadcast journalism, he has been a registered Independent.
Heath also said that his website regularly includes a variety of reality TV articles, because "from the president on down, so much of our politics today is like a reality TV show."
In the Media[edit]
During the 2012 presidential election, GQ Magazine named Jim Heath to their Top 5 political power list.[4] In 2012, The Washington Post named Heath to their "Best Super Tuesday Twitter List."

In addition to his website and television reporting, Heath has produced five documentaries on American presidential elections from 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996 and 2008 for the Jim Heath Channel on YouTube.[7]
