It takes what 8 paragraphs before statements like "The reality of fentanyl is that neither party has a magic-bullet solution." Start to appear. Considering the average reader barely gets beyond 5 paragraphs and journalists KNOW this, it is standard agenda-forwarding writing.
You see this all the time with Faux News: 10 paragraphs of 'Bidenz comin tah take yer BBQ burgers away!" followed by "policy proposal does not encompass propane tanks for home use" in fine print where possible.
There is almost certainly a much better version of this article out there. I'll edit a link in when I find it.
That article is pretty different. It barely touches on the kneejerk reaction from the right, which is the point of OP's article. It doesn't get in depth with voters at all, tbh.
If you wanted an article discussing the facts of drug smuggling, yes, your article is short, sweet, and to the point. However, all of that content AND MORE is included in the original, since the point of the original is how people have shifted right on drug policy, despite there being no evidence for Trump's statements.
I'm a little confused as to how the title makes Trump sound good. Facts are facts.
