The Los Angeles Times is a newspaper company in Los Angeles founded by Norman Pearlstine in 1881. The LA Times, much like most of California is a liberal based organization. It is the fourth largest newspaper company in the US and the biggest that is not on the east coast. Iran is defying military forces staged war exercises as they resist the Trump administrations harsh economic sanctions. The sanctions resist Irans oil, shipping, and banking sectors to penalize countries for doing business with Iran. Iran believes the sanctions are illegal and are hurting the average person. The Iran economy has been struggling. I think that the article is very well written and detailed. The LA Times is known to be very liberal although no bias was shown in this article. Liberals typically despise Trump so I thought they did a good job of not showing bias. The article provides great detail so you understand everything that is going on. It provided lots of facts about some of the deals with Iran. I think the sanctions are fair. President Trump warned Iran there would be consequences if they did not follow the agreement so I am glad he is being a man of his word.

The article I choose was posted by NBC news which is directed by Noah Oppenheim. On the NBC news website their claim to their audience is that they intend to satisfy all audiences. Although, I believe that while reading their article they have a drive towards supporting environmental awareness. The tone in the article felt as if they were almost agreeing with the lawyers and other people behind the movement of wanting cigarette butts banned. In the article "Plastic Straw ban? Cigarette butts are the single greatest source of ocean trash" there is a great amount of information supporting the facts behind cigarettes being the greatest source of trash in the ocean. The article talks about all the efforts behind trying to band cigarette butt filters and to the extend of even trying to band cigarettes. It really emphasis how people are the problem because research shows that people believe it is a tradition to just throw their cigarette butts anywhere they wish weather it be the...
