2. “I just found information
about tax cuts and
creating jobs!”

7. This Webpage is about tax cuts and if it
relates to job creation.
But, who wrote this and why?
(Resistance Questioning)

10. I infer that because he has worked in the newspaper
business for 30+ years, he knows how journalism works.
I infer that since he is from the Libertarian Party, he wants
the Federal Government to have very little to do with
anything. That’s because of my prior knowledge of
Libertarian views.
I infer that because he was a state chairman and also ran
for state house, he has experience within politics and has
knowledge of political topics.
I infer that because he loves to write about politics, he is
doing this for pleasure and not for any personal gain.
(Infer)

12. Hypothesis: This website is to
argue Liberal and Democratic
views on issues.

14. So, always keep in mind that this
website has a bias against Liberal
and Democratic views.
(Synthesize)

15. Analyze Point of View:
I have to agree with the author on this topic.
More times than not, I favor Conservative
values and am also part of the Libertarian
Party. Because I feel this way, I may be bias
when reading it. There is a very large
possibility that I favor what the author is
saying rather than keeping a neutral position.
