In recent elections, people have witnessed politics combine with the internet for more creative campaigns and a broader reach to the people. This also bypasses much of the news and media outlets that rely on television and other sources to distribute their information. In this article, the Texas governor has also done just that, bypass the media and address directly to his supporters. The article itself describes him signing a bill on immigration while on Facebook Live. This reportedly broadcast to his 1 million followers, and circumvented the need for news sites to report the event. This article, while reported factually and appealed to logic, also seemed supportive of the event. Even though the Dallas Morning News itself is one of these sites the governor bypassed, the author seems to appreciate the move. The application of statistics establishes both credibility and also seeks to have the reader agree by true logic. This article seems to accomplish its job while also ironically giving way to a movement that would ultimately work against the Dallas Morning News.
