The Essay “ The Man Who Counts The Killings”, written by Stossel, is referred to as an “ Anti Television” ( Stossel par 2) text.
Anti television is known to be against the idea of television rather than supporting the idea.

Different people have several opinions to these questions. For example, Stossel is against the idea of television because he states “ a strong connection between television watching and aggression” ( Stossel par 2).

To prove his point; Stossel uses lots of evidence, great diction, and a tone to aware is readers about the consequences with watching certain television shows.

Stossel’s diction is accurate because as he is writing about being against television so he uses words like: intoxication , aggression, harmful and many more to describes his argument about television.
Watching too much television especially the violent show is referred to as “intoxication “ because the media brainwashes people.

Once it gets to the state of being aggressive; this can be a very harmful behaviour, which winds up leading to bullying, being abusive, and committing lots of crimes.
