Wow Twitter’s getting serious

Evidence
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In 1984,
Stewart graduated from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia,
where he studied psychology (Biography.
com, February 2016, pg 1.). He became the
head-runner for the daily show and has been
the head-runner for that show ever since.
Jon is also an accomplished writer and has
directed a movie as well.
Jon uses multiple news clips in the video and
twitter feeds. One question I had was why
he shows the evidence in the way he did. He
pulls evidence to back him up from actual
news clips and social media like twitter to
show the relationship and similarity between
the two.
Motive
Logic
Informational in order to understand #bringbackourgirls, To help spread the word about
the kidnapped girls and bring them back.
Motives for satirical newscasts usually are
limited to not only bringing out the truth but
also poking fun at some of the more interesting news.
Logical, well delivered even if it is in a satirical form. The information was presented to
inform and persuade the audience about how
dangerous Boko Haram is and the importance of getting ahead of them.
Left Out
Many important details were left out in this
video. Jon filled us in on about how many
schoolgirls were taken and that maybe some
had escaped but he didn’t mention anything
about how Boko Haram is continuing to kidnap and enslave youth in Nigeria. The original number may have been around 300, but
the number since then has skyrocketed.
