The elections between the democrats, Republicans and the tea party have stirred up some hype in the news world. The Tea Party is to be considered the extreme Republican party and is in the lead during primaries.
"The New York Times reported Monday that Obama's advisers are considering whether to launch an ad campaign nationwide to portray the Tea Partiers as the new leaders of the Republican Party."
There is much discussion on whether the Tea Party would be good leaders and candidates or if they are extreme activists. Former President Clinton comments on the party.
Fox news reports, "Clinton said he remains concerned the so-called Tea Party candidates would go too far, weakening government to the point where 'there will be even more unaccounted for private concentration of power'." The "...Democrat officials have already made the Tea Party fear factor an integral part of their messaging." (foxnews.com) The Democratic party has"... been all too eager to portray the Republicans as a house divided, and in danger of falling, with the string of recent successes by Tea Party candidates."
This article is very relevant and is current news. The story covered most of the basic information on what is going on with the elections. There is some more information pertaining to Tea Party candidate O'Donnell who is in the spotlight right now based off her former engagements with witchcraft. This is unsettling to some of the Republican party members and her representation of the Tea Party. You can view this as valuable or invaluable or just as hype in the media.
There are different sources quoted and the story was covered well. The 5 W's: who, what, where, when and why questions are answered and there is different views on the topic. The first paragraph draws you in because you see that the Democrats are trying to make the Republicans look bad according to foxnews.com.
"The White House is pushing back on a report that President Obama's advisers are contemplating an all-out ad war to discredit Republicans by way of the Tea Party."
The rise of the Tea Party is gaining interest and popularity and there are many in the leads of the primaries. It will be interesting to find out who wins the seats in government. The article is relevant and important and has the "prominence" factor. In addition, it is headlining news on TV and on the Internet so we know this answered the "so what?" question.
The article is straight forward and to the point. It gives us "political news" and is serious and has impact. The article also has the "conflict" factor in news writing so it draws the reader in.
