Allan Smith
Allan Smith is the senior political reporter for Business Insider. He wrote the Trump vs Warren article I recently covered in a blog post. He graduated from Ohio University, and currently publishes a number of trending political articles about Trump and the White House.
As previously stated, Allan Smith writes numerous political articles. They rarely ever take a argumentative stance since he is just reporting the facts and evidence. In many of his articles he has links to other websites with supporting evidence to back up the claims.
After reviewing his Twitter ad recent articles on Business Insider, it is noted that he tweets and writes mostly about Trump and his affairs. The articles that were trending usually were about Trump, and a scandal such as the FBI raid, ( http://www.businessinsider.com/michael-cohen-fbi-raids-trump-lawyer-office-stormy-daniels-2018-4 ).
Smith usually doesn't outright say he is with or against Trump, but what he reports is usually painting Trump in a negative manner due to the scandal. He writes towards people who are interested in politics, maybe people of liberal views, or people on the fence. The links to other websites help readers to decide if they agree or disagree with Smith, and also help determine which side of the fence they may be on. Smith overall appeals to people with either an interest of background in politics.
Smith's main purpose seems to be reporting the facts. Business Insider is already known as one of the most unbiased news websites, so it wouldn't make sense for the company to employ people with extremely left or right views. Smith's main purpose might be exposing Trump for corruption, which is not uncommon for a politician, but may come off as too one sided of a party. Some of the articles he writes are, "These are the power players at Trump's billion-dollar business" or "A federal judge just dealt Trump an unprecedented setback in a lawsuit alleging he's violating the Constitution."
Lots of politics are always involved with what Smith writes, which isn't a surprise since he is the senior reporter for politics.
His tone is usually one that is pragmatic. The definition is dealing with things sensibly and realistically in a way that is based on practical rather than theoretical considerations. When Smith addresses allegations towards Trump he uses a very pragmatic tone, which makes it harder to point on bias he may have, thus making him a good author.
