This article talks about a reporter and how he noticed that there are so many illegal immigrants working, and what the government plans to do about it. The "They Say" in this article is that the government plans to take action about so many illegal immigrants taking the jobs of legal immigrants, the reporter has mixed feelings about it because he does think it is a good idea to give the jobs back to the legal immigrants at the same time though he feels sorry for the companies that employ the use of low waged payed workers.

This article talks about the hurricane Catrina that devastated small towns around the Golf coast, and other areas. It doesn't say the "They Say," instead it gives a likely report of what happened, but could be viewed differently. The reporter says that these towns were doomed from the get go, and not much was done to help these residents. The "They Say" is not implied and this article only addresses one side of the argument, that nothing was done to help these residents get out. The article I think is not that effective because of the fact that not both sides are presented, instead it's one sided and leaves the reader thinking, well there has to be another side of it, what is it, and, how much truth is actually in this article if views from the opposing side are not included?
This blog thing seems kinda fun, it'll be interesting to see if I continue to use it after the semester is done!

I agree with your comment that the article is not as effective. Then as the reader you aren't exposed to the other side of the argument so you don't feel like you can trust the article because you only know one side of the story. It is not an effective way to get people to believe your writing's credibility.
