Speaker: Bob Moser is a writer for the Rolling Stone, who has written articles about politics on the website. With interest in this topic, and with all of his articles being in this category, it can be assumed that Moser values voicing his opinion and educating those on politics. Moser repeatedly writes in an informative manner, from the lens of liberal viewpoints. This is shown when he writes, "White Right" (Moser) when referring to Republicans, in his piece The Lame Blowback to March For Our Lives. This shows that the writer is very passionate about his ideas and writings as well as he is dedicated to writing about politics, and writing about one specific side.
Occasion: In America now, there is an apparent divide between Americans, as many divide themselves into the Republican and Democrat party, just as Moser does. Along with this, people are beginning to speak their voice and opinions more as well, and report things that they believe need to be heard. In his article How Twitter's Alt Right Purge Fell Short, he talks about extreme hate groups apparent in the Alt right of the Republican party. In the big picture, all these article he writes, adds up to inform people on his views and things going on in America as of now.
Audience: He continues to write for Democratic Americans, and people of opposing parties, to educate them and possibly persuade them to see his views. This audience is seen when he continues to write negatively about Republicans and draw extreme conclusions about them, sometimes in a joking manner: "For a month, white nationalists raged against the imminent dying of their 280-character light" (Moser). He said this in response to Twitter trying to cut down hate groups online, and ridiculed their hate online, that is written with limited words. Overall, he is trying to mainly attract people of his alike views.
Purpose: Moser's purpose is to educate people on political events through the ideologies of democrats. This theme is consistent through his writings as well; every one of his articles are all about some political event that has occurred. Moser states: "Republicans are f-----" (Moser) before going in and reporting about a democrat, Conor Lamb being elected recently. Along with this event, he writes about DACA, starting with " with a shutdown looming and DACA in the balance..." (Moser). He writes about this as well, and includes democratic narrative as well.
Subject: The overall subject, is politics in America. In each separate article, there are slight variations in the topic it surrounds. In Release the Memo: What's the Conspiracy Behind the Right-Wing Meme? Moser focuses on what is happening in the Republican party and discusses it with his point of view inter-webbed into the article. Though in The Lame Blowback to March For Our Lives, he talks about a majority Democrat run event and discusses and criticizes some Republican viewpoints as well.
Tone: Moser comes across with a criticizing tone, with humor as well in his articles. This is present in instances when he mentions the Republican party, and talks negatively about them. He shows humor when he says that America "won't always be run by an elderly, infantile monomaniac" (Moser) when discussing Donald Trump in office. This shows Democratic views as well, as he criticizes Trump by saying that in a funny, criticizing light. This theme of criticism of the other side is seen in his other works as well, as he writes in favor of his own beliefs, in the Democrats.
