2 year old donkey called up to pro donkey basketball league.
The story is considered important because the donkey has jumped from fundraising games striaght to the pro donkey basketball league. I think the story is fake and is not really worthy of being on the news and i dont know if it is accurate because it is fake.
The story is about a young donkey who makes it into pro donkey basketball league the reporter is talking about how can the donkey can cope with the presure of being in the pro donkey basketball league.
There are many more weaknesses than strengths in the article because the article is not very important unless you watch the pro donkey basketball league which is not real. One weakness is there is no info on the pro basketball league which makes in hard for the reader to know if the league is actually real. It is also very hard to spot any errors because it is not real.
You get no “real” message because its fake and not really accurate because the audience knows nothing about the actual story.
In conclusion the accuracy of the story is not good because the story is fake and has no evidence of the stroy being real.
