    1. A 2024 Ipsos study bears this out. Taking samples from across the world – including Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Turkey – researchers found that, when it comes to gender equality, those aged 18-29 displayed the largest differences of opinion between the sexes.

      One thing to point out is, while yes they took samples from all over the world, they didn't specifically state how many people participated. Another thing to take note of is that these countries have very diverse cultures. So having all of these countries participate might not have create the best outcome.

    2. What’s behind the global political divide between young men and women?

      One thing I do want to point out is that, with further research, I discovered the The Guardian is a British Daily Newspaper. Meaning that this is potentially non-partisan and it is intriguing to see see how a news platform that is based in the UK rights American politics. But if you scroll down the article, a fundraiser of some sort is being held by The Guardian in an effort to "stand up to Trump." After discovering that, the political stance is clear and can perhaps create bias. While there may be bias within the article, there is no bias in the polls themselves because they come different sources.

    3. Harris won female voters of all ages by just seven points.

      This shouldn't come as a shock considering Harris' political beliefs and women's reproductive rights, so it would make sense that more women would be voting for her. Another thing to note is that women might have felt more inclined to vote for her because she is a woman herself. While this point is not cited in this article, it something to think about.

    1. But they had something in common: They were commissioned by right-leaning groups with a vested interest in promoting Republican strength.

      The writers of this article are trying to prove how these polls that are being published are being biased themselves. But in doing so, it somewhat shows their own bias as well. Why would they make this sort of article if they didn't have a particular bias?

    2. Race

      Race is also a metaphor because it implies that there is a competition at play when it comes to the election. This can be viewed as a sport metaphor.

    3. Running Away

      This is a metaphor because he is not physically running away with the race but it simply implies that some believe his is going to win the election.

    4. the Right

      "The Right," I believe is a metaphor for those who consider themselves more conservative and or are republican. The "right" and the "left" have always been used to indicate political parties and everyone knows which one is which. I believe this is some sort of directional metaphor. Direction not as in the right direction per say, but just a distinguished difference between both parties.

    1. Number of those sickened in outbreak expected to grow

      This is an example of speculation because it is inferencing what is expected to happen.

    2. The person who died was a resident of Mesa County, Colorado, in the western part of the state, according to the county health department.

      This is another example of an attribution.

    3. So far, one person has died and a total of 49 people from 10 states have fallen ill with a strain known as E. coli O157:H7,

      This fact is important to include because it shows the impact this outbreak is actually having on specific regions. Since one person has died because of it, this makes the case a bigger deal.

    4. McDonald's uses multiple suppliers for the slivered onions in the area where the outbreak cluster occurred

      Being that they have multiple suppliers for their sliver onions, it is hard to determine who exactly is causing this E. coli outbreak. This statement also appears to be a fact since they have yet to draw a conclusion.

    5. according to the CDC investigation.

      This is an example of an attribution. The writer is clearly stating where they got this information from, so it does not imply opinion.

    6. McDonald's says onions or beef patties may be to blame for deadly e-coli outbreak

      I want to highlight on the word, "may," this implies they have yet to reach a distinct conclusion.

    1. Liam Payne’s One Direction bandmates said they were “completely devastated” by his death, they said in a statement on the boy band’s Instagram account last Thursday.Recommended

      While this report highlights of drugs that have shown up in the toxicology reports, it is important to note that he was human and he had many friends, family, and fans who cared about him. It's important to end such a heavy article like this to make it more sensitive rather than insensitive.

    2. Payne was found dead a few minutes after the 911 call.

      Could this death have been prevented if authorities or someone had taken action quicker?

    3. “The guest is in a room that has a balcony, and, well, we are a little afraid that he might do something life-threatening,” the caller said,

      This 911 call is important to add to news stories because there were things that people noticed before the star fell to his death. This call serves as a witness to this tragic death and is beneficial to reporting as well as determining what actually happened.

    4. Liam Payne reportedly had 'pink cocaine' in his system at time of death

      The headline is straight and to the point, but we should emphasize the word "reportedly." This implies that this is not 100% percent confirmed, but it is in speculation and possibility.

    5. Liam Payne, the former One Direction singer, had multiple drugs in his system

      The toxicology and autopsy report of this star's tragic death has just been released which is very recent. There were many speculations in the media about how Liam Payne died because it wasn't completely apparent at the scene of his death. News like this can give readers the opportunity to creative new feelings for this situation as well.

    6. NBC News has not been able to independently confirm the reports.

      This is important to note when analyzing content. NBC News admits that have yet to completely confirm the sources they used so readers must take "facts" with caution.
