If the articles are written in a temperate tone, are well researched and documented and contain well supported conclusions they would probably help you. On the other hand, if the articles are simply emotional, ideology based rants against ngos and what you believe are left wing politics they should probably not be cited.

You have to remember that most people, including admissions officers, generally have moderate views that fall somewhere in the middle of the political spectrum and are likely to react negatively to anything they perceive as extremist, whether it is written from a left or right wing perspective.
