Great Writing

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/30/eurozone-gets-670-billion-fresh-bailout-funds/

I think the article above is an example of great writing. The author is very consistent and presents facts in an orderly and flowing manner. The author continues to use very sensible connections in her writing, such as "an 800 billion euro financial firewall." I believe this creates a better understanding for an uneducated or uninformed reader. The author also uses quotes from reliable sources within the European Union, unlike many articles I have read in which quotes are cited from another news agency, or an American who expresses his or her take on the issue. Although it sounds great that the Eurozone countries are getting a bailout, the author uses somewhat of a counter argument, in which she states "Italy and Spain have a combined 2.5 trillion euro debt over their heads, which could crush European banks, and send panic through global markets." Overall, the author uses a very sensible method of presenting her information, thus, this is my example of great writing.
