Assessment of the Source- CNN is a left-biased news source. Founded in 1980 by Ted Turner as part of Turner Broadcasting, CNN was the first 24/7 news network on American television. When it was first founded, it faced many detractors, with some even calling it "The Chicken Noodle Network." However, despite this backlash, CNN rose to become one of the nation's top news sources, and is still a source that millions look to for news every day.
Summary of the Article- This article details how millennials (people born in the early 80's to late 90's) are the future of American politics. The article goes into detail about how many millennials there are, and how many actually vote. The article goes on to detail how millennials politicians are different from "typical" ones. Citing an Instagram post by New York House of Representatives candidate, 28 year-old Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as their evidence. In Cortez's Instagram post, she details being nervous and not used to the fame she's receiving, despite this, she's still fully ready to take action to change politics.
Analysis of the Article- The article does a good job of detailing the need for millennial citizens to go out and vote and become more involved in politics. It provides a good example of how millennials are already getting involved, and just how different their approach is to typical politicians. It also details the age-gap between the average millennial citizen and their congressional representative.
Opinion- Overall, I think this article does a fairly good job at calling millennials to action to be more involved in politics, because they are the future. However, I think it could've done it with a different title. The title of the article is, "How millennials could kill politics as we know it if they cared to." However, this isn't the article title that I clicked on, the title when I clicked on it was "How millennials could kill politics as we know it." I think this title is pretty click-baity, and people may click on it looking for an opinion piece or something like that, and not necessarily what the article actually is.
