this work? this work? this work?

The Author tries his best to be
restrained and not pick a side
in the article. The specifics of
the events make the article
seem more reliable and more
trustworthy. The Author
includes the ideas of several
types of people to seem more
evenhanded and fair. Kelly is
using his authority as the
Homeland Security Secretary
in order to legitimize his
stance on the immigration
ban., declaring the orders are
a matter of national security,
and it is [his] sworn
responsibility as secretary of
homeland security to protect
and defend the American
people (John Kelly).
The people such as Stephen
Bannon use powerful and
rather derogatory rhetoric to
anger people about
immigrants in order to get the
working class and shop
owners to support their cause.
Critic of Trump and Bannon,
such as the Anti-Defamation
League use pathos to make the
Trump administration look
like inhuman alt-right racist
white nationalists. The
Department of Homeland
Security Secretary John Kelly
claims the immigration ban
was not a ban on all Muslims
and would not gamble with
American lives. (John Kelly)
The Author uses exact dates,
times, and names in their
articles. The Author explains
the White House chain of
command and the
legal/political issue behind the
immigration ban in order to
help the reader understand the
confusion and conflict
happening between Homeland
Security Secretary John f.
Kelly and White House chief
strategist Stephen K. Bannon.
The White House plans to
reevaluate the confusing
Muslim ban and its inclusion
of green card holders.
