Biased or Facts?
After reading, “Nike Admits Sweatshops Sports Giant Discloses Supply Chain,” I can say that it is one of the most informational sources I read, but it is extremely biased. It states that Nike reported abusive treatment to the workers, verbally and physically. I think that it is a very reliable source, despite the fact that it was updated in 2005! Although, it was written around the time that Nike did disclose its supply chain. Because of its extreme biased, I suspect most people will not read this article because it says only what Nike did not do, and when they did disclose their supply chain, it talked about how bad the working conditions were and never stated if the workers were volunteers or if they are poor countries. I think that the authors purpose for writing this article was to inform people of the cruel punishment these people are going through. I really think people should read this article though, because of its accurate information. I researched a little more, and I found more of the same information on several sites, leading me to believe that is very accurate. It is solely facts and very little opinions, but it seems biased because of the author’s word choice and his connotation and denotations. Its using words that usually people find very irritating, but it is pure facts.
