In the article, Save
Us Texas written by Michelle Goldberg, she sheds light on Senator
Ted Cruz’s Opponent Beto O’Rourke . The author of this opiniated post has a
solid base of credibility, as far as her profession as a writer goes. She is an
author, she has won the Politzer Prize and has experience in commentating.
Contrary to her professional experience, she does not have much experience in
Politics, which does not help her credibility when writing a piece that is all
politics. Michelle shows her bias from the beginning, but she does it elegantly,
focusing on the facts of Beto, rather than focusing on Cruz’s faults. This
piece is written in a sense that gives you hope, it gives me the motive to want
to learn more on the running senator. The evidence in the piece is solid and
backs up her statements of the possible turning point and how O’Rourke listens
to the people, he cares, and he states his values without sugar coating. While
focusing on his rally, she makes it a point to mention that the rally not only brought
in many people, but young in specific, mentioning more than once in her piece
how significant this turning point would be in Texas Politics. I do believe the
Title is misleading— “Save us Texas”, when I read that my inference would be this
would be about problems in Texas and how we need help, she didn’t state any
problems in her piece, although it was still a well rounded solid, emotional
piece. You can’t judge a book by its cover.
