Source: AP News 

Analysis: 

Immediately this article is about politics so I knew I would hear a voice emerge in the context of whether Biden’s cancellation was ethically and morally sound or not. Ultimately, I saw that two republican leading states filed federal suits saying that they overstepped authority in the idea of repayment itself. It also included a quote that Biden said but did not clarify if they believe he followed through on the quote itself. Biden urging his team to create more lenient terms for those who have borrowed money and their ability and time frame to gain repayment back is something that seems to have upset different parties. The article details the specific monetary amounts that decide when cancellation and forgiveness is given in regard to time frames. It states the Biden Administration focuses on the issues that come about when they attempt to help those who need it most. From this article, I gathered that the author or the AP News website encouraged Biden in his actions and his goals to help those who really need it. The total amount of 153$ billion seems outrageous and it isn’t disputed by the author nor the site itself. I gathered very strong left leaning & pro Biden political stances from this article.

 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...
