Little Credibility Found in The Captains Quarterly intercommunicateCaptain Ed wholeows his emotions to overflow after Media Matters for America accuses Sinclair Broadcasting Group of partisan news programming. Sinclair airs The Point, a commentary featuring Mark Hyman, the spokesman and overseer of all of Sinclairs Washington lobbing. Sinclair. Most of Sinclairs 62 Stations are required to air every night during their local news. Captain Ed express with an excellent argument, but quickly lost his credibility with name calling and childishness but even more with his ability to ignore logic and altercate truth with no relevant backing. Emotion can be a powerful tool in writing, if it can be harnessed and put into words. On the other side, emotion left unchecked, can destroy an entire work. The appeal of pathos and ethos in this essay did all the work for the opposing view. What is the best government agency to win an argument? Captain Ed will say it is to as quickly as possible ca ll the people whom one is arguing against lunatics (Captains quarter Blog 1). This is precisely what was done. When doing this the point that is being made is lost. It now has become a credibility issue. When writing an argument it is only logical to think the mean audience is the opposite view. Why would a writer blatantly attack its own audience? No the reader is trying to understand the other whim not get verbally assaulted.Logic is necessary in any kind of argument. With out it the reader will only become confused and tire of any further reading of the authors. Captain Ed excellently points out that, MMA and the rest of the lunatics seem to have overlooked one thing The Point is a commentary, an editorial that does not pretend to be news reporting. Sinclair advertises it as such. In effect, MMA seeks to condemn Sinclair for doing exactly what newspapers and broadcast stations have done for decades -- editorialize as owners see fit (Captains 1). This is an excellent example o f a well written logos appeal. It is true commentary is editorial and bias but not news. However, the position that was left out is really more important. These commentaries are aired during the local news. The local news is on every night for people to tune in and get a non bias report of what is going on around them. For Sinclair to force stations to air a biased commentary during the news is illogical.
