Fallacies
(85%)
The author makes an appeal to authority by quoting various political figures and their statements about Milwaukee. This does not constitute a logical fallacy on its own as it is a valid reporting technique. However, the repeated use of this technique without any analysis or context from the author can be seen as inflammatory rhetoric and an attempt to sway the reader's opinion. The author also uses dichotomous depictions by portraying Milwaukee as a 'horrible city' versus 'great city', which oversimplifies the complexities of urban life and can be misleading.

These statements present Trump's agenda and events at the convention in a positive light without providing alternative perspectives. Additionally, there are appeals to authority when mentioning speakers such as 'former First Lady Melania Trump' or 'UFC President Dana White'.

The article contains editorializing and emotional manipulation. The author uses the words 'deeply blue city', 'hard for some to swallow', 'swallowing it', 'it can be hard for some to swallow that Milwaukee is playing host to former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Convention this coming week while rival Chicago, the larger city just 90 miles to the south, welcomes President Joe Biden and Democrats in August.' These phrases are used to manipulate emotions of readers. The author also uses quotes from individuals that express their opinions about Milwaukee hosting the RNC which is not a factual statement but an opinion.
Schneider, who lives in a apartment downtown, said Trump ‘sabotaged himself’ with his comments about Milwaukee.
But it is a city, like many other Democrat-run cities, that has extraordinarily significant issues.
Milwaukee loves its Miller Beer, Brewers baseball and ‘Bronze Fonz ’ Doty. The deepest blue city in swing state Wisconsin, Milwaukee also loves Democrats. So it can be hard for some to swallow that Milwaukee is playing host to former President Donald Trump and the Republican National Convention this coming week while rival Chicago, the larger city just 90 miles to the south, welcomes President Joe Biden and Democrats in August.
It is shameful that we rolled out the red carpet for the RNC.

The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric by describing Milwaukee as a city with 'extraordinarily significant issues' and quoting Trump's use of the word 'horrible' to describe Milwaukee. This language is used to elicit an emotional response from the reader and can be seen as biased.
