Question

Compare the evidence used by both newspapers: Document A: New York Journal and Document B: New York Times, to support their claims about what happened to the USS Maine. Which newspaper uses stronger evidence?

Answer 1

Answer:

Document B uses the strongest evidence.

Explanation:

The two documents portray the same episode that is the destruction of the ship maine in Havana Harbor. However, while document A exposes assumptions about the nature of the attack, based on beliefs and opinions, document B exposes this event based on facts and defining the situation as it actually happened.

In the case of journalistic articles about real events, it is important to broadcast events based on facts, as assumptions may differ from reality. For this reason, document B has stronger evidence.
