Columnists Ahoy 4

David Lazarus has proved to be a columnist that primarily deals with evaluating businesses. From his post accusing Chase bank of creating a new policy to ensure an increase in the debt of the public, to the post in which he evaluates the efficiency of the tablets on the market as, "the perfect marriage of power and portability, enabling on-the-go access to books, magazines, newspapers, music, video and the Net, all in a slick, look-how-cool-I-am package" Lazarus makes his economic voice heard. Lazarus also comments on the importance of giving around the times of the holidays, saying, "There are food pantries throughout the region that would be grateful for a spare bag of groceries, or even just a little of your time." As far as economic policies are concerned, Lazarus seems to be leaning towards the political left side of the spectrum. With his emphasis on public philanthropy and his evaluation of the central banks as, "making it easier for people to run up balances on their credit cards"it seems as though his perspectives are more liberal than conservative. However, Lazarus seems to evaluate the topics he posts about very fairly, with minimal political bias.

    Solid job on Lazarus' work. Next step--identify the ways in which the liberal rhetoric operates. For example, does Lazarus appear more optimistic? Cautionary?
