The Ledger was owned by Walter Briggs, who also owned the Briggs Coal Company, whose miners were on strike.\nExcerpt: \"The so-called strikers are outside agitators who care nothing for Harlan. Honest families want the mines open and the troublemakers gone.\"\n\nMY OPVL DRAFT:\nO: Written in 1932.\nP: To inform readers about the strike.\nV: Valuable because it shows how a mine owner's newspaper wanted Harlan readers to see the strikers in 1932.\nL: It's biased.\n\nMR. VELASQUEZ'S LABEL GUIDE:\n- Strong = specific and tied to the source's provenance (who made it, when, why).\n- Weak = true but vague or incomplete; misses key provenance details.\n- Wrong = inaccurate about the source (for example, misreads what kind of source it is or what it was for).\n\nRemember: an editorial is an opinion piece meant to persuade, not a news report.\n\nMy friend Leah's take: \"just say every source is biased, that's always true.\" Mr. V says that gets 0 marks.\n\nPractice paper due Monday.
