Washington Post 

This article was titled Opinion: and despite that I wanted to read it to get a very telling sway of one side. Thus far, I have not read many articles with 100% a right wing or left wing view but I thought that this would be the perfect time to analyze one as the criminal trials and Donald Trump’s third run for presidency commences. Immediately I see the wording “every imaginable defense” implying that Trump can go to exasperating lengths to protect himself and avoid punishment. This hints at an aspect of invincibility that I thought was very interesting and I wanted to see if the rest of the article would adhere to this language. The author still ensures readers he will still be held liable for judgement. She highlights the ways Trump could entirely avoid his criminal allegations due to the system and the time it will take to reach the trial all together. It mentions Trump’s lack of patience as well as Trump’s scolding of his council. This implies Trump coming from a childish approach especially at the implication of “scolding.” Another way the tone goes about condemning Trump is the statement of Trump unable to arrack witnesses, prosecutors and jurors. This says plenty about Trump’s character without saying much due to a man in power attacking those who oppose him in a public manor. Overall, there was very much a far left bias which if the uneducated public read this they would be able to paint a clear picture of Trump. However, despite this being labeled opinion, the factual events of what the author said were true, perhaps it simply came from a place of “opinion” because it has such a strong voice and needs to be labeled as such from the Washington Post.

Blog #8- USA today

 April 15, 2024 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2024/04/14/israel-iran-missiles-drone-retaliation/73321318007/ Source: USA today Israel’s long-simmering conflict with Iran moves out of the shadows. Will it spark a wider war? Critical Analysis: Overall I think this article did a great job at voicing the reality of the situation. However, there were some word choices that painted Iran to be a big enemy. “Vowed revenge” made my eyebrows go up. Of course wars have been happening for years and years and ongoing enemies in the middle east has been brooding for years. Iran has targeted many other countries. Iran launched weapons into Israel after Biden sent a warning. This paints Biden and the United States as an empathetic country when in reality we as a country do insert ourselves into international issues. Statements from other groups urging Israel to be “cautious about its response” seems to paint Israel as a country that cannot control themselves and make their own decision...

Blog #6- Time

4/10/2024 https://time.com/6965267/women-having-kids-later/ Source: Time  Analysis: Overall, this article did not have a strong voice leaning towards the right. The authors did a great job at including all aspects that may lead both women and men to prolong the parental approach and they also included many statistical evidence to back their points up. They even included statistics of people of color and their reasons for holding off on their ideal number of children. I do appreciate how the article lays down information and suggests that perhaps holding off on kids is a good thing and that studies suggest better behaved children. Using evidence of math and that childcare is expensive and many people’s decisions all boil down to money that people have. This article may have a left leaning voice due to the acknowledgement and appreciation of understanding cycles and reproductive advances to prolong fertility in women. Including ideas of health issues and why having children may not b...

Blog #4 NBC News

  3/28/2024 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wife-baltimore-bridge-collapse-survivor-says-workers-break-cars-bridge-rcna145465 NBC News  This article is another one that left me very surprised in regard to the recent bridge collapse in Baltimore. This article has the voice of  George Solis and Marlene Lenthang while also including insider evidence from the wife of one of the construction workers. Similar to my last blog post it this article begins from a factual standpoint examining basic ideas. The wife mentions “we don’t know if they were warned before the impact.” This can be analyzed in many different ways, there was some time before impact and the cargo ship knowingly losing control. Traffic was warned not to enter the bridge but my thoughts are skeptical. Was someone not doing their job properly and could these 9 men perhaps had been rescued? Something that is not officially stated but clearly implied was the mexican decent of these men who were repairing pothol...
