In Hannah Furness’ article, she uses the word “betrayed” to describe what the grassroots Tories did to David Cameron. The word betrayed is used to describe traitors so the journalist is depicting the senior local Conservatives as traitors to the conservatives. This is a method of giving a negative impression about them to execute her subjective position that these grassroots Tories are in the wrong. The journalist to the other article, Juliette Jowit, chose to use certain facts to support her subjective position on the story. She used figures like, “303 Conservative MPs and more than twice that many parliamentary consistencies in the UK” to show how many Tories are rebelling against the bill. This method convinces the reader that there are many people in David Cameron’s own party that are voting against him. This tells the reader that there is uncertainty in the party which could imply that the bill is wrong which would support the journalist’s subjective position.
