When looking up information on certain events that happen around the world, I am able to find many different resources that I can use to get my information from about an event. I have also realized that these resources can have different opinions on the same topic. Both The New York Times and VICE published articles on the Dakota Pipeline and these articles had similarities and dissimilarities. New York Times' article is titled "Federal Officials to Explore Different Route for Dakota Pipeline" and VICE's article is "The Dakota Pipeline Will Be Rerouted, but the Standing Rock Campers Aren't Moving Just Yet," with both of these articles we can tell that a one of them is more political based while the other article is just there to state the facts.
The similarity that the articles presented were on how the protesters became very happy once they heard that the government said that they would reconsider moving the pipeline some where else, but that was the main similarity that I could easily point out.
After reading both of these articles I noticed that The New York Times article talked about how Donald Trump, our new president, wants to establish this pipeline even though there are many protests against this controversial topic. Also they specifically said that the government wouldn't grant permits that would allow construction of the pipeline under the Missouri River that VICE's article was different since their main focus was on the veterans that showed up for the protests against the pipeline. They also said that these protests won't stop the entire process of this pipeline being built. In the article they talked a lot about how many member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe believed that their water would be affected if the pipeline were to be built. Both of these sources of information may say similar things but they have different focuses.
