Angie Johnson on 06 Nov 14Crooks and Liars = WHO 1: The company or group responsible for putting the information online. Do you recognize it? Is it a well respected source? Is it a biased source? What's their agenda or what are they trying to accomplish by having this online?

Yep, that's the answer. MORE guns. Guns for everybody! Too many guns to count, just arm them all and let's see who's the last one standing.

This is a clear example of strong sarcasm. Again, suggests strong emotion, not measured objectivity.

This is fairly insulting language, charged with emotion. It doesn't suggest a very objective viewpoint. Seems STRONGLY biased.

I picked up snippets of conversations here and there.

This is anecdotal evidence, and is heresay. The author doesn't even know the people who are speaking. That makes this evidence fairly weak.

Who is she? What are her credentials? What does she know about guns in schools? Is she educated? Experienced? There's NO identifying information here. That's a REAL PROBLEM, and is the main reason why I WOULD NOT use this as a source for my research. HOWEVER, I WOULD find the Seitz-Wald article and use THAT as a resource if it were good enough.
