== Article Evaluation == The article I read was about John B. Nalbandian, United States Circuit Judge appointed by President Donald Trump. The article was very neutral, it only presented his general biography such as who he was, where he was born, his education, and what he did in terms of employment. The article doesn't talk much about his personal life other than where his mother was born.
