Establishing Credibility
The article “Selena Gomez Pregnant with Bieber’s Baby”, lacked credible information regarding source material. The author, Frank Lake, attempts to convince his audience of Selena’s pregnancy; while neglecting concrete evidence of his claims. He mentions Selena’s appearance on The Tonight Show saying, “She had been complaining of nausea and a severe headache”. (Lake) He goes on to refer to her hospital visit using information from an unknown source who relates information to the mysterious source “WWN”. WWN breaks the news to TMZ that “Selena is pregnant!” (Lake) Justin Bieber was listed as the father. I do not find this article credible due to issues in his writing made evident through further examination.
