Bill Clinton said a speech in front of the whole United States of America saying that he lied to everyone and he was sorry for don't that. He lied to everyone about having a relationship with his secretary Monica Lewinsky. Clinton in fact did have a sexual relationship with Miss Lewinsky and when people found out he denied it at first. Then she said he did do it but that America should move on and don't talk about his private life.
Bill Clinton used a propaganda technique called red herring. Red herring is where someone or something diverts the auidences attention to another detail instead of the main one. Clinton used red herring by telling the United States to move on with therir lives instead of talking about his relationship with Miss Lewinsky. Bill Clinton states, "Our country has been distracted by this matter for too long..." (Clinton 16). Also Clinton expostulated, "It is time to stop the pursuit of personal destruction and the prying into private lives and to get on with our national life" (Clinton 15). These quotes show how Clinton told the United States to move on with thier lives and forget about this incident.
I think that Bill Clinton has bad ethos. He has bad ethos because he lied infront of the whole United States of America. Then he just told eveyone to stop "prying into private lives" and move on with there own. So I do not think that Clinton is trustworthy if he could deny and lie infront of the world.
