Paragraph 3

RELIABILITY CONSIDERATIONS
List individual and/or group biases for the sources. Then apply reliability considerations to the question in order to
reinforce your thesis/judgment.
Source A uses stronger language then the rest of the sources. Which creates lesser trust in its reasoning. The other
articles provide a more dramatic argument however I do not believe that it lessens the truth of the articles.
