The Rhetorica Network offers analysis and commentary about the rhetoric, propaganda, and spin of journalism and politics, including analysis of presidential speeches and election campaigns. This site features the Rhetorica: Press-Politics Journal web log, comprehensive news media links, a rhetoric textbook, a primer of critical techniques, and information for citizens. The character of Rhetorica represents the purposes and canons of classical rhetoric. --Andrew R. Cline, Ph.D.
Yesterday, a reader (calling himself Greg Packer) left a comment saying that my “antipathy towards ‘TV pretenders’ is starting to take on the Moby Dick/Capt. Ahab dynamic.” Today, alert Rhetorica reader Rebecca G. sent this link so that I may continue my hunt for the white whale (TV’s turning journalism into entertainment). Peter Johnson, of USA Today, discusses the CBS offer to Army Pvt. Jessica Lynch.
