Blog 7: Snopes

Blog 7: Snopes

It is quite interesting that I have never come across this website (snopes.com) before. In fact, when I first opened the website, I saw that this website has many issues that are currently been going on and reports whether the story is true or not. In fact, I saw the tilapia story as I saw a couple weeks ago that people should stop eating tilapia because of risk and disease. I employed ethos, pathos, and logos to determine whether this author is good or not. I discovered the site to possess all of these traits and find that the author has no bias. I found that in every article that I read the author introduced the topic and often had research in the article to back up their opinion. And the research that was in the articles were simply outstanding and well done. I learned a lot of things by coming to this website. I better know how to provide commentary on my opinion and also provide research. I think as a writer you grow as you learn effectively what to do on papers when you see examples. I definitely think that I have grown as a writer. This website has been a teaching tool for me and I think I definitely know how to look for biases in websites much better. All in all, I was not able to find any biases in the essays by the authors of this website and I can say without a doubt that this website is very professional and clean in nature.
