    The article contains some instances of appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric, but no formal or dichotomous fallacies are present. The author quotes President Biden awarding Phil Donahue the Presidential Medal of Freedom and states that Donahue was visibly moved by the honor. This is an appeal to authority as it relies on the credibility of President Biden's statement and Donahue's emotional reaction to establish Donahue's accomplishments. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Chicago as 'not a teddy bear town.' However, these instances do not significantly impact the overall quality of the article.
    • ]President Joe Biden gave him the prestigious honor.[
