Twilkinson9's List: 2.5 Researching Credible Connections

• • First article of mine from the LexisNexis Database, is one from Filipe Bondy from Daily News(New York) titled "New ESPN voice Landon kicks back at Klinsmann". It was published Thursday June 12, 2014 at the time the final replate edition.
• • I think the main point of the article is inform soccer and sport fans alike of the loss of ownership ESPN has of the World Cup. The author did a complete job making sure this was accurate and thorough. It does seem to want to sway our view on how or if ESPN minimalizes sports that it doesn't have right too. Not that it succeeded in pushing my opinion but it has a point when he brings up the minimalizing of the sports that tghey have no rights of owership over. There are citations for graphics and context.
• • The article tell's about a newly hired commentator for ESPN's World Cup show, holding a grudge against the Coach that just cut him from the team. The author does not seem biased or trying to sway your opinion.
• • Article number two is, "SPORTSWATCH: ESPN eager to raise cup" by Neil Best sports writer for the Newsday (New York) found on the LexisNexis Database. Published Tuesday June 10, 2014 inlcluding all revisions.

• • "TV Networks Bank on Future of M.L.S." by Richard Sandomir May 12, 2014 was published in The New York Times. From what I can pull off the site, he is a writer for Sports Business in The New York Times which is where the article originates from. No revision has been post or no timestamp of one.
• • Mainly it's about money, how much who is going to spend on what to keep soccer a televised sport for people to watch. I am impressed with how thorough it is. This article has just facts, does not seem to be convining me of anything. The author gives sources in the context of the article but no links or citations.

• • Author is not clearly posted neither is their title. Whoever updated this article focused on the punishment ESPN enforced on Bill Simmons for violating company's social media guidelines. In a way it seems accurate and thorough but once read it was clear that it was biased and unsuccessful of convincing me. The unknown author sources are unknown. That makes it feel bogis to me. Maybe if there were other links or citations for more research I could say it is credible but as of now it is not.
