George W. Bush’s 2004 presidential campaign ad “Tested” employed ethos with his message “Steady Leadership in Times of Change” implying that he was stable and trustworthy during the disastrous events that took place under his administration ,such as September 11th an event that would go on to change how voters viewed foreign and domestic affairs for years to come; meanwhile, John Kerry’s campaign ad “Optimists” would have successfully captured the vote of American voters because of his pathos and ethos combination appeal, appeals that were necessary for this election due to recent national events which caused voters to prefer a strong, capable president who can handle national and foreign affairs with powerful grace, assisted in getting Bush…
the problem. The problem was the process in regards to how the story was made. Another SPJ code of ethics that was broken by Mapes was avoiding conflicts of interest that were real or perceived. The review panel in “Truth” had a suspicion of why a liberal journalist would not question or verify information given to her, especially when it could hurt the president and further support her story. That was not the only situation that made the panel skeptical. One of the defects stated in the report…
Before the specifics of the chapter is discussed, there needs to be a reasoning as to why this information was “forgotten” throughout time or simply just not discussed. This relates back to the idea of historical memory, which is how people recall events of the past. In chapter nine, Loewen is evidently hinting to the fact that in classrooms in America, lots of important and true information was missing due to the fact that certain parts of the war and America’s actions make America look in the…
Barack Obama displays that John Kerry is the better choice for president through the use of abstract words, anaphora, and anecdotes. He explains to his audience that Kerry believes in all of these abstract ideas and that he goes on to list all of the good things that John Kerry believes.

Obama explains that where he was in life, his career, his family,…
into the brotherhood the lyrics speak of. He was taken to prison over one year ago now, and we also had a final goodbye, but the time has felt as if it has been a millennia. Whenever I needed him, he would be there, and we went through many adventures together. Every time the song plays, whether it be radio or iPod, he always reappears in my head and I wonder how he is continuing within his life. He may not be in a better place as the song says, but I cannot wait to see him again because…
In Biddeford there have been women that were well- known in many different ways, from a journalist, to mayors, to a woman who created a women's association in Biddeford. Although this person may not have done any of these things or is the most famous or well known woman in Biddeford history, she is someone I have looked up to every single day since I was born, my mom, Kerry Mariello. Although she didn't have as large impact on Biddeford history with her actions as others, she is just as…

was he not able to secure an Iowa Caucus victory or the democratic nomination for president? The answer to that question can be found by examining one of his competitors in the election, John Kerry, who eventually won the Democratic nomination to challenge George Bush for president. (USA Today 2004) One of the laws regarding campaign financing addresses how much presidential nominees can spend after accepting their respective parties’ nomination to run for president. (FEC 2015) In 2004, the…
Trump - the current GOP presidential leader - likes to brag, these are not the traits that he can brag about. If we go back to presidential cycles prior to 2008, and ask the question, could a person like Donald Trump be elected president? The answer would be a resounding no because the political climate then was not influenced by the kind of political shenanigans we have today. Donald Trump is not the first wealthy man that has ventured into the political arena to contest the presidential…
On April 22, 1971 at the Fulbright Hearings, John Kerry delivered his speech, “Statement Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee”, in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Vietnam War veterans while they were all attending a meeting to discuss about the Vietnam.

He accomplished this goal through a calm, formal…
