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.
Jon Friedman thinks CNN would be better off if founder Ted Turner would buy it back from AOL Time Warner. Maybe.
As regular readers of Rhetorica know, I have a low opinion of TV as a medium for news. But, there are many excellent journalists who struggle every day to make it work. CNN was once a news network that encouraged that type of journalist.
