I am writing to you regarding the article “Reality TV is the herald of our destruction” by Matthew Osborne. I read your news website every single day when I’m free and find interesting and inspiring articles on it. A few days ago, I found an absurd article that was written by a journalist with very poor understanding of the term ‘reality TV’. The article should have been considerably edited to be publish on the news website. The ideas of reality TV shows are very professional in my opinion. However, the writer talks about how the producers “run out of ideas as an artistic society” on reality TV and insulting famous reality TV shows for being stupid. The biased article with poor understanding astounded me. Reality TV shows are a main source of entertainment to the world and people who finds it stupid will still watch it because it is stupidly funny or entertaining. Some reality TV shows might even help us in the future in our adult life. I was not exactly prepared for the responsibilities of adult life, but I wasn't completely naïve either.

Matthew Osborne is suppose to maintain a neutral tone when he was trying to show the negative aspect of reality TV. When Matthew Osborne tries to tell information about reality TV, it sounded very offensive to the overall community and the viewers as well. This is all due to the words like: “jackasses”, “screwed up”, “garbage”, “deplorable”, “despicable”. All these offensive words should be forbid from the audience of the news website. By using these horrible abusing statements can influence the readers to decide which side they are on without knowing the true details about it. The writer manipulates the audience emotions rather than using valid logic to win an argument or to persuade them into supporting the statement he is

    Throughout all of history, people have always tried to persuade someone to see their point of view. People from all kinds of backgrounds have engaged in such behavior, whether they realize it or not, in order to convince someone else that their opinion is correct. There have been many who have made themselves known by their opinion and power to persuade others such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. whose words were able to inspire a nation to have a change of heart. Authors, however, make up one of the larger portions of people trying to persuade others to agree with them on a topic. An author such as George Orwell writes in order to persuade others towards the kind of world they should want to be living in, and he crafts his writings in a way that achieves this purpose.

    For example, some readers may view his story-telling and reminiscing as a sign of self-centeredness. While Traub’s personal tales bring intense emotion to the article, some may feel that it lacks some credibility due to the absence of outside opinion. As a result, this can weaken the ethos aspect of the persuasive argument. Another way that Traub’s heavy reliance on pathos can weaken his argument deals with the audience that he is speaking to. Because Traub often refers to sweet memories that involve old newspaper comic strips, he is specifically pleasing an audience that has spent some time of their life reading them.

    Reality can be a difficult thing to swallow. Books, movies, and televisions shows often do their best to make sure people do not have to always see the harsh light of reality that shows in everyday life. They show a more romanticized version of real life, and characters appear to receive some brilliant stroke of luck just when the going gets tough. Even in supposed “Reality TV”, people tend to have incredible fortune, and lack the struggles with things like finances, romance, or boredom. Things always seem to be going wonderfully in the lives of the characters.

    The Braindead Megaphone written by George Saunders analyzes the many negative effects that nowaday news media has on society.
