Authority

Who wrote
the article? How is the author related to the article? What was his source?
Are the sources properly cited? What is the reputation of the author? Is he
known for some biases?
|
The text
was not written by a particular credible person. It was posted from a page on
Facebook with a lot of likers and followers. They provided links of the
articles and sources of some statements in the text. The author/s wrote this
on their About page: “The Thinking Pinoy, its contents, and its associated
social media accounts were created, published, and maintained solely by
ThinkingPinoy (TP) in his personal capacity. TP is not officially affiliated with any political party.
Unless otherwise specified, the opinions expressed in this ThinkingPinoy.com and its
associated social media accounts are TP's own and do not necessarily reflect
the view of any particular political party.”

Timeliness
|
When was
the article written? Is it possible that some of the information in the
article has changed in time? If yes, would the change have any effect on the
conclusion of the article?
|
The
article was posted on December 1, 2017. It is possible that some minor
information may have changed over time. This has a grave effect in a way that
it might give a misleading point for the audience. However, almost all recent
articles from credible and known news sources in the country has almost the
same information about the issue. The only difference is that the news remain
objective while the post of TP, as what they said above, can be from their
opinion also.
