This article is about how Breitbart News, popular news organization and website, is taking on Steve Bannon, former White House political strategist, as their chief executive. What the author does well is give context for the story, providing backgrounds on both Breitbart and Bannon. It also goes into depth as how Breitbart is supporting its new hire, how they are trying to pump his reputation as well as their own.
What the author could have done better is present the news and their argument in an unbiased way. Most of the article comes off as knocking Bannon and questioning his abilities, as well as trying to discredit Breitbart and other news sites associated with them. They even goes as far as directly insulting the site, by saying that they have "shown a near-endless capacity to throw darts, it has not yet mastered the spear, let alone the missile."
What I can use from this in my own work is the way the author used a variety of images from a variety of sources like Google, Newsweek, and even Breitbart itself. This variety makes for and interesting story and a more clear one, too.
