The New York Times
This article discusses the rash of executions planned after the Supreme Court ruling on Capital Punishment. The author gives some statistics about the planned executions but immediately shows bias and detracts from their credibility by using the phrase "Machinery of Death". The author proceeds with their bias throughout the rest of the article which also attempts to encompass the capital argument debate in a few sentences. The author also arrogantly assumes all americans share their view against capital punishment. The author makes no attempt to discuss the cons of capital punishment but instead states that the rest of the country feels as do. I'm not sure what the author was trying to say with this article but all it did was anger me.

It sounds like this author would have been a lot more effective if he had not been so biased. By showing his views on the death penalty, he probably turned away all who believe differently then him on the issue.
