Losing Time Original Story from //CNN.com:// [|No jail time in gun case for NBA's Gilbert Arenas] I chose this article because of Arenas. I thought that Arenas did not get any jail time for the gun case because he was wealthy and well known. He got off the hook because he had power. I realized I was wrong after I read Arena's statement. Arena's said [|"...the government had singled out Arenas for punishment because he was 'a big fish' and argued 'no one should be treated worse because they are rich and famous']". From this quote, Arenas is trying to say that a person shouldn't be punished just because he is powerful. I also chose this article because I was interested in why he brought guns in his team's locker room. The last reason why I chose this article is because I thought it was going to have a lot of bias like Arenas getting off the hook because he was popular.

I found this article on //CNN.com//, which is said to be both [|liberal and conservative] biased. The authors of this story are not biased or affiliated. Their information given are recent giving it no objectivity. Other point of views in this story could be of the teammates. Emotionally loaded language in this article include [|"...the government had singled out Arenas for punishment because he was 'a big fish' and argued 'no one should be treated worse because they are rich and famous'"]. Another example would be "[|You have shown genuine remorse. At your core you're a decent person. You're a good person, and you 'get it,'"]. Figurative language is used. An example of this would be [|"a big fish"]. They use this to show that Arena is wealthy and well known. The ideas or conclusions stated in this article were mostly facts but also quotes. These quotes were bias, but the authors' own views were not.
