The Guardian view on the EU response to the refugee crisis: a challenge it has failed to meet-Editorial

As The guardian is a left wing newspaper we can assume that the article will most probably be targeting the decisions of politicians regarding the refugees and try to create empathy towards them. This is already more than obvious in the title, already at the start of the newspaper article the author clearly conveys that it was the EU's fault for not being well prepared and not the refugees. Hence the ''a challenge it has failed to meet.'' This way The Guardian targets all of the people which feel empathy towards the refugees and claim that the EU could act towards helping them instead of stressing about how they might influence the future.

From this word count we can see that the article in a way is supporting the refugees and is targeting Eu's horrible decisions. In other words pushing the EU down for not taking the right action choices which , in the guardians point of view, is helping the refugees best they can. That way they succeed at targeting all the people which feel sorry for the refugees.
