Monday #11- Steve Huntley columnist #4- Synthesis

Based on the columns by Steve Huntley that I've read, he commentates on politics from a conservative viewpoint. Every one of his articles either looks favorably on one of the candidates for the Republican Parties nomination, or criticizes one of Obama's actions. From what I've read, he is very against Obama's policies, even titling one of his columns "Obama's Political Goals Bad for Us All". Despite being against Obama's policies, he isn't antagonistic, and condemned the booing of Michelle Obama at a sporting event in Florida. His conservative viewpoint affects his articles, as they are naturally biased towards conservatives, focusing mostly on Republican successes, and Obama's failures. He doesn't just cover the political campaigns, but also focuses on some important events that are happening throughout the world.

    Focusing on Huntley's attack on conservatives shows your understanding of the issues; the next step--a closer analysis of his rhetoric that helps you determine tone (and bias).
