This is what I think about the article "Why it's so hard to win the war against US oxycodone epidimic"

Honestly I think that Patrik Jonsson covered the article well as far as informational fact goes but due to his personal opinions he blew the whole story into a bigger deal that it actually is. He even states that the "abuse of oxycodone is not new" and yet he continues to write the article with a hyperbole like "the most dangerous, most addictive, and most deadly drug problem of our lifetimes" as an evidence statement. He uses things like that to probably make the reader see things from his side, a scared American who is blaming the doctors for prescribing pills like their job entitles.I think that the main source of his attitude is reflected in the fact that he is writing for the Christian Science Monitor. They are often known to publish articles like this one that tends to come off to the reader as a BIG problem when really it is just another of many problems in this world. In all though I think even if you read it you still feel like you have the right to make your own opinion and he is not cramming a judgment down your throat.
