Most americans can't Afford a Minor emergencyEleanor Goldberg, a correspondent on poverty and business for HuffPost, cites a new (but unnamed) report, saying that only 39% of American can cover an unexpected $1,000 bill. Out of three hundred million people, 39% is a significant part out of the whole. It is similar to an article one might find in other magazine. Common pursuers of magazines and newspapers similar to Huffington Post might find this article an interesting read. The bias is framed to visualize this percent of people. In fact, a big part of the article is a profile. The DeVolid family was left with $8,000 in debt after suffering several medical emergencies, which in turn, left him without work and even less than what he was earning. The article brings attention to the struggles families like the DeVolid family face as well as informs with multiple statistics from different reports. The tone is almost impartial, but as the author shows that the case is rather bad and common ("While DeVolid's case is devastating, it's hardly unusual,"), the author is outspoken and concerned.
