The above comment is one example of a comment that not only lacks credibility, but also shows high bias to the subject. The writer of the comment seems to be showing signs of fear or anxiety towards the subject because he clearly does not like Tom Brady or the team he plays for at the current moment. I feel as if this commentator has no true beliefs about Tom Brady that would allow him to make his comment coherent and credible to the article. This commentator is lacking credibility because they are lacking any sort of valuable information that would support what the article is about. As well, it is highly biased.
This comment has little credibility for the article, this is due to the fact that, while it has more information rather than bias, it still continues to show a high bias to Tom Brady and will not further the discussion. The commentator is showing fear of the subject, Tom Brady, and has a biased opinion on what needs to be done. I feel as if the writer believes in swift unclear justice. This is probably due to clouded judgement. For all the reasons stated above, I believed thats why the comment is not credible.
The above comment is credible. This is due the fact that the writer presents credible evidence as to why what they believe is true ad can help support themselves on the online feed. They believe in the correct way of dealing with subject matter. They have nothing but admiration for the subject matter and would like nothing more than to further it.
This comment is also very credible. He shows a clear reason as to why his opinion is correct and why he should be taken seriously. They list past times where stuff like this has happened before, where they can see if theres a pattern to the incidences or etc.
UPDATE:
After reading both
Chloe's and
Landon's thoughts on comments, I was able to feel more comfortable about my own reactions. I was also able to conclude that reactions to rude comments are very important so that the general reader can form their own opinions and reactions based solely off information rather than that of an angry online commentator.
I really enjoy how serious your evaluation of the first comment was even though the guy meant it as a complete joke. But when you say in your comments that the comment had credible information, what exactly is the credible information? And I completely agree with your reflection. If no one responds to negative comments, the viewers will only remember those negative ideas. More information usually leads to a more reliable source. The more bias sets in the more emotional the writer can get. This emotion makes the commenter seem less credible because they now have a vested interest in one side of the story being correct.
ReplyDeleteFear and anger are not emotions you want to strongly show in your comments since they have the ability to overpower the actual point the commenter is trying to make.
