Obama Closes Guantanamo Bay

CNN.com's report of President Obama closing Guantanamo Bay detention facility was written with a fair balance between political views. Starting off with quotes for President Obama addressing the reasoning behind his decision was a great start. It set the field for other opinions to surface throughout the article. After giving the facts and Obama's reasoning, the columnists looked into Republicans' ideas. The first to be quoted was general election opponent John McCain, who surprisingly supported the idea of closing GITMO but opposed setting a time table. The next quote was from another Republican official, stirring up concern about bringing the detainees into American prisons. The next Republican quoted, John Murtha, agreed with President Obama. The article raps up with the idea of moving the GITMO detainees into United States facilities. The final quote given by Rep. Bill Young shows his anxiety over this idea. I know it seems like I am summarizing the article, but I am for good reason. This shows the article breakdown and flow of information given by a seemingly unbiased reporting staff. The layering of conflicting ideas from Republicans shows that Obama is recieving a diversity in support. These types of unbiased articles are more enjoyable, engrossing, and informative than a biased source (ex: Fox News).
