Logical Fallacies

Dear Steve Lee Myers of the New York Times,
In your recent article on the attacks McCain has had against Barack Obama I found you used a couple of logical fallacies. You started the article saying how the Obama campaign was trying to focus on the issues when the McCain campaign was trying to make up false faults instead of trying to find ways to fix the economy. I found you to be “stacking the deck”. This is due to the fact you accused McCain of doing all the allegations yet you worded your ending differently about how Obama has been talking about Palin. Talking poorly about her. Also I thought you were “red herring” because you seemed to avoid talking about all the allegations that the Obama campaign have been throwing out at McCain. To have a truly fair and unbiased paper you should adjust these changes in further articles.
Thank you, a reader,
Eric Storhaug
