The vocabulary is adequate and mostly accurate. Words like "intrusive," "biased," and "impartial" demonstrate a good range. However, more precise vocabulary could be used in places.

Grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors. Phrases like "Nowadays it's so important to approach the news with the critical eyes" and "newspaper are just giving or are just spreading newspaper" show grammatical inaccuracies. Focusing on subject-verb agreement and sentence structure would improve accuracy.
