Clinton Camp Goes After Obama Over General Election Campaign Financing Plans

This fox article is a editorial of an atypical "he said she said" political argument. The Clinton campaign is blasting Obama for "going back on [the] pledge" he made regarding public campaign funding. While the Clinton front's argument is definitely not iron clad, the article does a remarkably good job of being completely unbiased. Instead of interjecting with his own opinions or paraphrasing to the point of partiality, he used well directed quotes making his story short and quite to the point. Also he made a very deliberate emphasis on using equally pointed quotes from both camps, ensuring an unbiased editorial as well as setting an informational scene on which the reader can truly make his or her own well informed decision.

It's good that the author puts both sides in the arguement. Usually with politics you get a biased opinion and don't get to make your own opinion from a good source. So putting in both sides is very nice to see.

I think this article is well written, interesting, and enjoyable. I like the way the author provides both sides to the arguments and remains neutral on the topic. By the author remaining neutral it is easier to believe the author ad listen to what he has to say.
