    1. landlines (129) and cellphones (719) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (262)

      Way more cellphones than landlines, also completing it after getting a text is weird. Who reached out to them? If it was a FOX News hotline, odds are more survey takers were Republican leaning. And what did the survey say?

    2. this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,110 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file.

      At the end, they give us the statistics, which is good. 1,110 is a good number, over that 1,000 mark we mentioned in class.

    3. sampling error of ±3 percentage points

      Let us know the sampling error (+-3) which is good. 3% is a lot though.

    4. Overall, Trump has a 2-point advantage over Harris in the presidential matchup (50% to 48%) among both registered voters and likely voters,

      "Likely voters" is bad. Does not accurately represent voters.

    5. The latest Fox News Poll, released Thursday, finds two-thirds of voters favor

    1. “I believe Donald Trump is a danger to the well being and security of America,” she said.

      "I believe" really helps us see that this is very opinionated before we actually read the quote.

    2. Harris was asked Wednesday night if she considers Trump a fascist. “Yes, I do,” she said.

      It is a fact she said she thinks he is a fascist. It is her opinion that she thinks he is.

    3. If Trump wins, Harris said, “He’s going to sit there, unstable and unhinged, plotting his revenge, plotting his retribution, creating an enemies list.”

      Any proof that he is going to do this if he wins? Or is this just what she/ the left thinks will happen?

    4. Over and over, Vice President Kamala Harris argued at a CNN town hall Wednesday night that Republican rival Donald Trump is “unstable” and “unfit to serve.”

      Kamala's opinion is that Trump is "unstable." This article should tell us why.

    3. A specific ingredient has not been identified as the cause, but investigators are focused on onions and beef. A preliminary FDA investigation suggests that slivered onions served on the burgers are a likely source of contamination. The USDA is investigating the hamburger patties.

      This paragraph gives readers a possible answer for what is causing the outbreak. Although earlier sentences state there is no official cause, there are possibilities.

    4. Everyone interviewed in connection with the outbreak had reported eating at McDonald’s before falling ill and most mentioned eating Quarter Pounder hamburgers, the CDC said

      This is impact. It is affecting a lot of people. Ranging from those who already ate a Quarter Pounder to those who were interested in purchasing one.
