Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
Personally chose this article to the relation this will have with my topic surrounding oil inquiries assignment. This specific article was also appealing due to the fact this only had a grading of a "C." I believe this article contains statistics that are valuable in understanding the amount spilled surrounding not only clean-up, but also the impact years on the environment this entailed.

For the lead topic, the main title is listed in bold, and describes the topic at hand, "Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill." Checking multiple links and references, each one was successful in connection to the articles provided/cited. However in one of the facts listed, pertaining to the "capped cement," article, displays information mainly around the spill, instead of why there was failure with the sealing "gone wrong." I believe this area can be improved with more viable evidence to support this specific claim. Also another concern is the organization of the article in entirety. Looking further into the reason mentioned in the article for cost-cutting, is stated in reference with the negligence due to the "filling of cement improperly," although this has multiple factors due to the increase in settlement surrounding the true-settlement costs/reasons. Concerning the media images for this article are limited, but do contain captions for explanation. I believe the strength in this article regarding "biased" information, would be considered a high-rating. Everything surrounded the facts listed, and well stated the overall points concerning the spill. Even into the impacts this had on the surrounding ecosystems. However, this began to stray into details due to the "lasting effects," this would have on the neighboring animals with extra detail. Would also note that most of these numbers/years in this article are not up-to-date, and could be renewed.
