I'm appalled that KPTL. com today published a salacious story about the ex-governor of our state, using a tabloid newspaper as its only apparent source. This article suggesting the ex-governor took bribes is the shoddiest journalism I've ever seen. Anyone who lived here during his tenure knows his reputation was unblemished and that his only interest was in serving the people. Until today, I was a loyal reader of your site for local news, but I will go elsewhere from now on. I strongly suggest you read the dozens of comments from people below the article. Readers will not put up with such nonsense from a local news source. For shame! Signed,
Terry Hughes, disgruntled reader

In paragraph 5, president obama remarks: “you know, when trayvon martin was first shot i said that this could have been my son. another way of saying that is trayvon martin could have been me 35 years ago.” how does president obama use rhetoric in this quote to contribute to the overall meaning of his speech?
