Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title implies that Ryan Gosling and the SNL cast are breaking character consistently throughout the show when in reality they only do so a few times. Secondly, it exaggerates how difficult it was for them to keep their composure during these sketches by saying 'just like his previous visits' even though there is no evidence of this being true. Thirdly, the article uses sensationalism and selective reporting by focusing on the moments where they broke character rather than highlighting any positive aspects of Gosling's hosting or other parts of the show.

Fallacies

The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author repeatedly uses inflammatory rhetoric to describe Ryan Gosling's behavior on SNL as 'repeatedly breaking character', which is an exaggeration and not supported by evidence. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma when they say that the entire cast had trouble keeping it together, implying that there were only two options: either everyone was struggling or no one was. The article also contains several examples of appeals to authority, such as referring to Ryan Gosling's previous visits to SNL and his status as a well-known actor.
