Mr. Turley uses lots of exclamation points. It's true!
Normally, this reviewer finds the exclamation point the most useless of punctuation marks, as most times it signals an attempt at contrived emotion--Look! This is important! The exclamation point is proof!
However, in Mr. Turley's case, it's easier to accept them because his arguments and assessments typically reflect thoughtful analyzation of varying viewpoints on the issue at hand.
The fact they're generally relegated to only the headline of his commentary helps too. Okay, it's an attention getter. But read on and the contrivance of the exclamation point is deflated. By genuine analysis.
Dr. Turley often falls prey to catch-terms of the day. Sometimes ironically, and sometimes not, it appears. But in the end a reasonable conclusion is typically offered. And that can negate some nitpicking.
So there you have it!
