NBC News is the news division of the American broadcast television network NBC, formerly known as the National Broadcasting Company when it was founded on radio in February 21, 1940. When I looked through the webpage, it was well developed. The news reports were easy to find. It was well divided by sections for any person's interests. It updates every hour with a lot of information and videos to make it more dynamic to read/watch. The news report I found was about the GM (General Motors) crisis. This mega company was found to be in crisis due to the poor demand in their biggest production, sedans. It seems to have given an unexpected turn for the car market. Most of their factories were destined to produce sedans, but now they have to start with other types of car production such as SUV's or trucks. Also, the news source talks about the intervention of President Trump. He promised to give economic support to the company when he was a candidate for the presidency. But now, he cut off all the company subsidies because the company closed some locations and cutting 14700 jobs in the US. President Trump announced why he did this and the reason was because he thinks that they should have shut down other locations such as the one in Mexico. I think that this news source gives an idea of why it is never a good idea to trust politicians when they feel powerful. Also, they clearly don't understand of the market works. If you need to shut down factories to stop losing money then just do it. GM has also made clear that they will develop more job positions for different areas to modify their production. Overall, this is an excellent news source with a balanced use of ethos, pathos, logos. The use of different hyperlinks to the main page gives the page more credibility.
