  • 1 more sticky notes...

  • • The content of this article is good because of the title and the author, time, and date shown. This content I believe is serious but popular at the same time.  I do believe I have the latest version of this story because It shows at the top of the page when it was last updated.
• (CNN) -- A Kentucky pastor who starred in a reality show about snake-handling in church has died -- of a snakebite.

  • Censorship in a non-valid argument in this article because the author comes straight out and tells the viewing what happened to the preacher with no sensibility. 
• Jamie Coots died Saturday evening after refusing to be treated, Middleborough police said.

  • Searching for the public police report is how you can try out your personal critical thinking to find the credibility of this source. 

  • The credibility of this article is now valid because of the police report that can be publicly accessed at any time to cross check the articles credibility. 

• On "Snake Salvation," the ardent Pentecostal believer said that he believed that a passage in the Bible suggests poisonous snakebites will not harm believers as long as they are anointed by God. The practice is illegal in most states, but still goes on, primarily in the rural South.

   

  Coots was a third-generation "serpent handler" and aspired to one day pass the practice and his church, Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name, on to his adult son, Little Cody.

  • This is an example of commentary within an article. The author is commentating what went on during one of the episodes that Jamie Coots was involved in. 
• • As for comparability, you could compare statistics over time that compare the amount a snake bite related deaths that have occurred to preachers like the one that is being displayed in this article. 
• On one episode, Coots, who collected snakes, is shown trying to wrest a Western diamondback out of its nook under a rock deep in East Texas. He's wearing a cowboy hat and a T-shirt that says "The answer to Y2K - JESUS."

  • Here the article is citing 'one episode', which will take the user to a website further showing the user what this specific section of the article is talking about and further more proving its credibility.
