Excerpt: Last night, Fairview police arrested six university students for involvement in an illegal gambling ring. Today, community leaders and university officials are claiming that Professor Shuman, the students' academic advisor, should also be arrested. Dr. Harris, the department chairperson, reports that Schuman has recently started holding group tutoring sessions in his campus office in the evenings. Video footage from security cameras outside the campus building shows him exiting on several occasions with some of the accused students. Although Shuman denies the gambling ring allegations, he was most likely involved with this illegal activity.

Explanation:

If we want to have an objective article, we must include pieces of evidence and situation that are proving represented information. It has to be written with the facts and the commentaries by others, in this case, the professor, is considered as reliable information and they are not taken seriously so they can't be objective.

In objective articles, there shouldn't be opinions and ideas of the author or others because those are opinions not exact information.
