Important: Owing to a server snafu last year, much of what I published between 2002 and 2018 was lost. I am slowing attempting to republish some of the more important posts by pulling them from archive.org. The Rhetorica Network offers analysis and commentary about the rhetoric of journalism, politics, and our culture. This site features the Rhetorica web log, a rhetoric primer, 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.
Spinsanity covers the attack of the “A” bomb. While I think Ben Fritz gets the historical connotation of “appeasement” just right, I don’t think all of the pundits using it understand exactly what transgression they’re committing. William Safire, however, has no such excuse.
