Write a response to below argument
"Over the past year, our late-night news program has devoted increasingly more time to covering national news and less time to covering weather and local news. During the same time period, most of the complaints we received from viewers were concerned with the station's coverage of weather and local news. In addition, several local businesses that used to run advertisements during our late-night news program have just cancelled their advertising contracts with us. Therefore, in order to attract more viewers to our news programs and to avoid losing any further advertising revenues, we should expand the coverage of weather and local news on all our news programs."
The argument that time devoted for weather and local news should be restored omits very important considerations that are necessary to get a full 360 -degree view of described scenario .The argument does not provide substantive evidence to be able to prove or even support the main conclusion from the given premises
Firstly argument readily assumes the that complaints were received from viewers that concerned with station 's coverage of weather and local news.Here it is not mentioned that time allocated to weather is major problem.There might complaints regarding the technical issues or clarity of picture at that time
Second. The argument claims that late night news program just cancelled their advertising contracts with them. Allocating less time to advertisement might be major issue .If there no correct allotment of time for advertisements then they will not deal contracts. So we should mainly concentrate on the reason required to attract advertisers as well as viewers
It also fails to account for a factor in an argument that complaint may consists of reason that weather forecasting mentor in the channel is not communicating well, so we should see whether information about the weather forecasting in not flawed.
Lastly, the argument fails to account for the facts that extra time to be devoted for weather. We can improve the quality of news by getting fresh reports than other channels.
In the summary, the argument is extremely flawed because of above mentioned reasons and hence comes across as weak and unconvincing to the reader.If the author had mentioned all the relevant facts that are essential to objectives to objectively assess the situation under consideration .The argument would have been much stronger .Without this information the argument remains unsubstantiated and open to debate.
