http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ted-koppel-tells-sean-hannity-he-is-bad-for-america/ The world that we live in today is extremely different of that one that was in place 20 years ago. Many aspects have changed in regards to communities, education, the workforce and even the President of the United States. While some people are starting to realize that these things are changing, they want to prevent this world from worsening however not everyone wants to be included in this plan. On March 26, 2017 David Morgan decided to write about the conflict between Ted Koppel(CBS Contributor) and Sean Hannity(Fox News Host) and their differences with america with one being between whether or not CBS News is a news show or a opinion show. Morgan uses denotation diction to compliment his straight forward tone. He demonstrates this by providing words such as, "antipathy" and "prevalent" throughout the article for the audience to easily understand and grasp a well educated and sophisticated tone. The level of the author's emotional attachment is neutral considering he did not make it boldly known on whether or not he took a side. Another rhetorical device that was displayed was Morgan's appeals to ethos. He later incorporated a section of an interview between Koppel and Hannity discussing their differences and Hannity mentioned that, "We have to give some credit to the American people that they’re somewhat intelligent and that they know the difference between an opinion show and a news show,”(Morgan 1). This is Hannity's way of exclaiming that CBS TV does a great job of providing opinions towards situations however fails to represent facts. The authors purpose is to address this situation so that others may witness what television networks are commenting on CBS Productions. To finish the article off Morgan states that, "In a series of tweets, Hannity later accused CBS of offering Fake Edited News." (Morgan 1). Hannity will stop at nothing to make sure people know that CBS is not a credible news channel and they should not trust it. AUthor, David Morgan achieved his claim by including strong diction, and educated tone and appeals to ethos which resulted in his claim being strong.
