Option 1

 * Article title
 * Political Communication
 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall the article was very well thought out, well written, and well organized however in the lead of the article, the author did not cite any sources which means they guessed on all of the information in the lead or plagiarized it. This could also mean that the article is biased as they only stated information that they knew and believed in. The article itself also seems to be biased as well even though many of the sources are fairly reliable accept for some that have broken references. It is easy to see why the article has and S rating.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Barack Obama Presidential Campaign


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article was well written and organized highlighting all the important topics and events of the Obama 2008 Presidential campaign. However, most of the sources of the article come from the same publishing companies such as the New York Times, BBC and the Guardian: most of which have political bias. Leading to the assumption that the author themselves also have a political bias. The lead of this article does provide a summary of Obama's 2008 Campaign but does not summarize what will be specifically included within the article itself.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Ted Cruz Zodiac Killer meme


 * Article Evaluation
 * The introduction the article was short and did not contain much information about what the article itself would be about. There are also unrepresented parts of the article reception. I would add more images to the article such as the meme itself or more information about how the meme came about. The article itself also seems incomplete and needs more information on this scandal/joke.
