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.
Nixon was among the first to use the pathos of television for political effect. But America had still not been completely seduced when Edmund Muskie shed a tear during a presidential campaign. Today? Well, we expect politicians to show, and be frank about, their emotions.
