    Its not hard to see what they’re doing…

    First they add negative comments, then follow up with a positive post to seem like they’re being Impartial!

    It’d be interesting to see how often the negative comments are put before the positive comments though because i’d guess it’s a lot higher than the reverse!

      When writing an argument (and your biased) you start with the opinion you don’t want to support and end with the opinion you do want to support, because people usually remember the last part of an argument better than the first part. That is at least when assuming people ACTUALLY read (and the classical rhetoric theory)… but so many people have fucked attention spans, so I’m not sure if this is still accurate.

      You know that some weirdo would say the opposite if it was positive comments first. It’s a lose-lose situation for the writer.
