Friedman is mostly one sided and only talks about is arguments bashing Trump and focuses little on Clinton, which can be an issue when someone wants another perspective.

    Thank you for your comments on my analysis. Here are my thoughts. Using an ethos appeal, Ken Herman uses his status as a prevalent journalist for a major daily newspaper in Austin, the capital city of Texas to garner credibility for his “opinion” of the December 2016, Austin City Council election and to perpetuate the “Austin American-Statesman’s” preferred political ideologies in society. After reading Herman’s article, it is obvious the “American-Statesman’s” political ideology leans left. Although Herman makes these liberal views known throughout his article, he carefully constructs his opinion article with the selling of the newspaper in mind.…

    Buchanan Pros And Cons

    On August 17, 1992, conservative commentator Patrick J. Buchanan addressed the Republican National Convention, delivering a speech that would long be remembered as the definitive statement of the American "culture war." Diagnosing the national condition as one of spiritual decline, Buchanan neatly divided the American populace into two competing camps— one that was traditional, patriotic, and conservative, and another that was radical, deviant, and fiercely liberal. A vote for George H. W. Bush, Buchanan declared, was a vote for the former; a vote for William Jefferson Clinton was a vote for the latter. If Americans were to emerge from their spiritual descent and return to the "Judeo‐Christian" values upon which the nation was founded, it was…

    I agree completely with both authors that Sarah Palin was not ready for Vice President of the United States. She came off as a babbling, backwoods idiot who didn’t know how to dress or talk. Although, I’m sure she was smarter than either of the authors gave her credit for. She was a conservative and both of the authors wrote for liberal papers.…
