'Despicable': Park Service chief dragged before House panel, ripped over closures


The article on Fox News is titled "'Despicable': Park Service chief dragged before House panel, ripped over closures." In the article the head of the National Park Service is called upon to answer questions about their activities during the government shutdown. Since the National Park Service shutdown all the parks, including national monuments in Washington DC. The Republicans claimed that the Park Service is trying to make the Government shutdown as visible as possible. Their grounds was that the parks wanted the public to see this and blame the Republicans for the shutdown. The republican’s warrant was that the government shutdown is necessary for the well being of the nation. They believe that the parks are trying to make it look like the Republicans are the negative body. The rebuttal of the head of the National Park Service is very simple. The parks thought it was necessary, because they did not have the manpower to keep the parks open, especially because most of their workers were sent home due to the shutdown.  The kairos of this article is very easy to see; the intended audience is the American people, to shed some more light on the government shutdown. The occasion is very obvious; it is because all people want to read about is the shutdown, its repercussions, and what is being done. The media is Fox News, which is often criticized. The ethos of this article is questionable, because it does not say who the author is directly, I searched throughout the article and could not find a name which seams very weird to me because it is coming from a very famous news source. Throughout the article there were mostly value statements and very few fact and policy claims.
