Being an opinion piece yes I think this does the job. I feel like it brought down a lot of facts backed by opinion but then gives the reader an opportunity to make their own decision.

I am not surprised that this voting has been such a mess. A country can't be forced to have elections and then have them go smoothly. This is ... More »

It was an interesting piece on the senate and voting but it felt a little l=clouded by personal opinion. It seemed like the real story was held back by what was personally thought of about the issue.

Some points I agree with here but I am still confused to the situation happening. In terms of content the average reader unless following ... More »

Yes it accomplishes its main goal of reporting an incident and perhaps sparking its readers to react or take action in their community.

This is just more proof of how some law enforcemnet is so porrly informed of their duties of law. I hope that these two officers are punished and I ... More »

I feel that this is decent journalism I t does a good job of summarizing the events that took place here so the reader in general should feel well informed.

Interesting article I think environmental issues do have a distinct amount of importance but I personally feel it is blown well out of proportion. ... More »

Yes Correll gives an informative piece of information and backs it with research and expert advice.

This article is a classic example of culture vs. culture and the clash between the two. To really be able to critically think about this piece one ... More »

Half and half, good points brought out and backed up by sources but I feel the paradoxical issue could be expanded more by looking at different parts of the country and different situations.

Interesting article but at the same time not very surprising facts that republicans would oppose this and democrats would support it. Scary that ... More »

No because I feel like a lot of the material was trying to be shoved down my throat. Effective journalism is being able to convey your message without having to blatantly say what it is.

Not much to say on this piece which left quite the stale taste in my mouth. Felt like was reading a childish blog on someone who is not a big fan ... More »

Yes because the journalists involved went out and through interviews and basic research they presented the facts. They never once threw in their personal opinion which is refreshing to read.

It is always god to read these pieces on crime because it brings awareness to situations like these. This also conveys how important it is to make ... More »

This is quality journalism because at any time Morrissey could have backed every piece of information with personal claims but he does not because there is much greater value in the reader being able to develop their own personal opinions rather than be forced one way or the other.

Interesting to see that housing sales are still dropping with that being said it is a big indicator that the U.S. still has a long way to go when ti ... More »

Terrible just absolutely terrible piece of journalism which is a stretch identifying this as journalism. Just an offensive opinion piece with facts that seem as if they are pulled right out of no where.

I have to say that I completely disagree with this blog. I question the credibility of the statistics given. None of the statistics were even backed ... More »

Good report obviously it did its part in reporting the events that took place in this suicide bombing. I also like how Rodriguez tied in the overall argument to the original conflict that is occuring.

Wow is the only words that can come to mind. A poor young kid being brain washed into thinkingt that he is doing a service by becoming a suicide ... More »

I felt this was a good piece of journalism described the issue cited sources and was able to give a valid opinion after. It kept its integrity throughout the piece.

I think this is a good opinion piece and what is really effective about this posting is that it informs the reader on an issue needing to be addressed. At the same time one must realize that as important as it is, it is mainly opinion based.

I have to say I feel fed up with the cloud of secrecy behind what is happening with the conflicts in the Middle East. I feel like our government ... More »

I feel as an opinion blog yes this is a quality piece of work as the author thakes their time to put their insight on an issue concerning them and perhaps others.

Interesting points made on this article, lack of democratic achievement gives the idea that the GOP will take advantage and control in the near ... More »
