· Informative vs. Superficial This article is more informative then superficial because it tries not to just give a background on the issue but to fully analyze it and to give as much information as possible

· Accurate and truthful vs. false and deceptive We can not exactly be sure if this article truthful or not, because the statistics in it are not backed up by sources. I think that there is no point in making this article inaccurate and I believe that it is more truthful then deceptive.

· Objective vs. biased This article in my opinion is far more biased then objective. All though it talks about both, advantages and disadvantages of Obama’s infomercial, it always emphasizes its disadvantages.

· Pluralistic vs. insular viewpoint As I already said, this article shows both points of view but it supports only one of them. It mainly focuses on unsuccessfulness of Obama’s infomercial and thus making the reader to think the same way.

· Balanced vs. weighted side This article in my opinion is completely opposite of balanced article. It is very weighted side because it continuously talks about one point of view, explaining in and supporting it with facts and examples. It does that in order t to make the readers to believe in it and to jump to the conclusion right away taking the other point of view into the account.
