I read an article which I found on Chron.com. It was titled "Tales of drug lord 'La Barbie' ripe with speculation". The article was published by Dane Schiller and Jason Buch at 12:08 this morning, September the 1st. Basically the article was about Edgar Valdez Villarreal otherwise known as "la barbie". He is a well- known trafficker out of Laredo, that was finally captured on Monday in Mexico.
The author is very precise and to the point. He gives a good background on 'La Barbie' before leading into the story of his capture. There wasn't much confusion in the way he formatted the piece. Also the author hooked me as the reader from the start with a catchy introduction as well as a clear thesis statement, allowing me to want to know more.
Also the article was very useful and it gave me information on a national event, that otherwise I wouldn't of known about. Along with the information of his capture, I like how the author gave background and details on the trafficker, Valdez.
This article was not bias by any means. It was just a piece spreading inforamtion of the capture of a drug-lord running his "soliders or gang members" throughout the United States, Central and South America.
