Article 11/17 - JFK

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/16/us/jfk-assassination-conspiracy-theories-debunked/index.html?hpt=hp_c2

This article from CNN talks about different conspiracy theories regarding the JFK assassination, and specifically a Dallas resident, Dave Perry, who has spent years researching the subject. He regards how there are numerous conspiracy theories regarding the assassination, but goes into detail about the five most famous ones that have circulated. Perry goes on to disprove four of the theories ranging from LBJ doing it to the "mob". The only one, he says, is tough to disprove is that the CIA ordered it. There's always ambiguity revolving around the CIA so there will never really be a way of finding out. The purpose of this article is to inform about and argue different conspiracy theories about the assassination of JFK. The intended audience is those interested in the subject and JFK. Perry establishes ethos since he has been researching the assassination for 37 years. He establishes logos through his extensive research. He establishes pathos by appealing to everyone general curiosity regarding the conspiracies. Overall, I enjoyed reading this article.
