News channels and reporters are informing their viewers daily on new events that have occurred locally, nationally, and globally. In this article, Lapointe points out that the recent bus bombing in Somalia was not reported on many news outlets. On Saturday, October 14, 2017 in the city of Mogadishu ( the capitol of Somalia) there was a large bus explosion killing an estimated 300 people and hundreds more injured. Lapointe uses formal tone as he expresses her opinions on how the tragedy was handled by news outlets. Lapointe appeals to pathos when she uses the valid example of a "bus of schoolchildren who were on there way home" when the explosion occurred. He includes this example to show the audience that what happened in Somalia was just as tragic and saddening for the people of Somalia as if it happened in the US.
