Seeking iPhone Data, Through The Front Door

In the article "Seeking iPhone Data, Through The Front Door", by William J. Bratton and John J. Miller, they talk about how the FBI and Apple are debating over privacy rights. This Article is an opinion article, and was published on February 22, 2016, on The New York Times.
The biggest issue with this article is that there is no concrete evidence to back up any of the claims the authors are making. They claim that Apple, a cell phone company, doesn't want to protect the public from terrorist attacks, only hacking attacks, but offers no quotes from Apple of examples of them doing this, other than refusing to "open a backdoor" for the FBI. This makes the opinion article look very weak, as if they were kids on the playground pointing fingers at each other but eventually forget what the main problem was. The article has a sort of clunky way of moving through it, the authors jump from topic to topic with little to no transition. The article is fairly short, which makes the transitions very important. When I read the article it makes me want to pause and laugh, because I assume that the article was written shortly after finding out about the Apple FBI debate and the authors couldn't stop to take a break and think, they just had to write whatever was on their mind.
With all of this it makes this article, that is supposed to be an opinion paper, feel very weak. With little to no evidence, the way the authors use transitions, and the pure anger you can feel in the words, just make for a weak opinion article. With all of this I can't even being to make my own opinion on the debate, because there is so little evidence to back up their claim, that Apple doesn't care about terrorist attacks.

5 Things To Consider in the NH Primary

The US presidential election is coming up, and the primary is just around the corner, but as we know the main public has very little knowledge on these matters. So how do we change that? asked CNN writer Stephen Collinson. What is the answer, to give the top 5 things to be looking at in the NH primary.
Yes we can not vote in NH, as we are in TX, but it is still a big deal to watch and see how the election is going, to see what the presidential candidates are saying. This article is a very short, but very informing article. It gives five different things to watch in the NH primary. The first is labeled "Trump's Biggest Test", and in this section Collinson explains that Donald Trump has a big question to answer,"Can he turn big crowds and media buzz into votes?", Collinson theorizes that if Trump's voting percentage drops lower than 31% than he might lose the election all together, due to the inability to gain momentum in the latter part of the race. The second section is titled "Rubio: Rebound or rout?" the theory in this section is that if Marco Rubio doesn't hold traction after the debate he will then fall shortly after this primary. The third section is titled "How hot is Bern", in this Collinson talks about Bernie Sanders and even claims that the question isn't will Sanders win, but by how much. Then Collinson talks about the Governors Ball, titled "Who stars at the Governors Ball" in this section Collinson talks about all the governors who have fallen out of the race after the last primary, but Collinson theorizes that Bush will get the highest percent of votes, out of all the remaining Governors. The last section is labeled "The Fallout", in this Collinson talks about how he thinks that the NH primary will not have many people drop out, but instead will be a defining moment for most candidates for the coming up primaries.
