Phoenix is Crazy

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29663159/

The attached article is a poorly written examination of Joaquin Phoenix's shenanigans. It begins with a direct command to its readers. Then it transitions to a nutgraf describing a recent altercation between the actor and an audience member. Following the event, it adds some quotes from a close source regarding his wackiness.
After that article wraps up, it addresses Matt Damon's critique of the Academy, then a look at Twitter and the recent box office. Overall, the entire piece is sloppy and random. It tells the audience what to think. There are too many biases.

  1. I agree with Jeff, this article not only seemed to be filled with biases as well as opinions but the structure of it threw me off. Also the sources seemed "weak" or just didn't seem to be the most reliable.
