This source is not really biased on the issue of drilling in Alaska, if it were it would suggest the possible harmful impact on Alaskan wildlife and only that. But instead of focusing on the possible negatives the article. Provides the scientific facts that support the fact that drilling in Alaska would not be worth the time and money spent. What we would save would seem minuscule.

This is a source does not have a bias on the issue. Instead it offers both the risks and rewards that would possibly occur if America decided to drill for oil in Alaska. This article is mainly directed towards people who do not have a stance on the issue, and this article lets the people decide. First the article suggests the possible effects on marine wildlife that may occur if USA drilled in Alaskan waters. Then it transitions to the effects on land wildlife if drilling were to take place. Next, it transitions to the risks involved with reaching and transporting the oil. Lastly, the article utters the predictions of how much oil would be forged if it were to be unearthed. The facts of how much oil there actually is and the impact on wildlife lets the reader decide if they want America to drill or not to drill
