"Justin Timberlake 'miserable' with Jessica Biel for Years"

US Weekly is a magazine known for their vicious celebrity coverage, and nothing was going to stop them from this hot topic. The authors effectively used kairos in this article by issuing on article soon after a famous celebrity breakup. Not only does this article reveal the magazine's opinion on the true meaning behind Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's break up, but also refutes other sources.

The audience is definitely intended to those interested in celebrity gossip, and those who are more or less willing to believe anything they read. The sources used are all general "pals" of Justin Timberlake, making it very informal. The sources are also biased in that they are all in support of how this relationship caused unhappiness for Justin and mentions nothing on Biel's behalf. The article attempts to make the audience feel remorse and sympathy for Timberlake in having to deal with this burden of a relationship for so long, but no evidence is given as to why she made him so unhappy. The majority of the article consists of quotes thrown out by "friends" of Justin in defense of this break up being a long time coming.

The image on the front cover only adds drama to the matter with a huge rip evident between a photo of the former couple. The text over the picture also reads: "How He Broke Her Heart," which yet again, places all the control in Timberlake's hands. Despite the fact the article does quote their reps stating: "they mutually decided to part ways," the article insists on creating unnecessary drama by putting the blame one way or another. There's nothing interesting about mutual, so the authors also throw in words like "blindsided" and "cheating" into the article to catch the reader's eye and pull on their emotions.
