Russia Probe

In the first video I could see that the person defending the president was using Pathos. I know this because in the video she stated that "The issue was going to be closed up soon." However, latter in the video the man caught her because she had no facts to back up that the issue was going to be resolved soon. She was using her judgment and since she works for the president thats what she believes even though she has no facts to back up here statement.



What I witnessed in second video was a little bit of Logos and a little bit of Pathos. With Logos she started out by stating the fats on how us as American tax payer's are wasting our money on this when it shouldn't have happened in first place as many thought. She also said that it is important and should be investigated and it should. However, you could easily see that she was using Pathos as well. In the video she stated that " Every crook should step forward and take the punishment." Also you could see she had a lot of emotion tied into this and felt very wrong about this topic which is okay, but you sometimes can't let the emotional side get in the way of the facts.

CNN did a great job using Logos. They stated the facts that they had either received or did their research on and really didn't tie their emotions into this. They kinda stayed in the middle of the road and just sated the evidence to the people watching and letting them decide on what they think. You can also say that this video was Ethos as well. I know this because CNN has been a trusty source in the past and I know wherever they get their facts they will make sure they are true and not manipulated.

Now in the last video I saw both Logos and Ethos just like in the third video. I can tell Ethos is being used because I know that the news teams has a lot of creditable and would make sure that where they got their information was true. Then, I know its logos because they have emails and have spoken to sources that can backup what they said.
