I choose Fox News website as the website whose credibility might be questioned because of poor design choice. Fox News can be considered at least somewhat credible (sometimes) so it naturally follows that their website would have to have good ethos to uphold their credibility. The two images are form Fox News homepage and at first glance seem normal. The very top picture has some problems that might just undermine Fox News credibility. They have the picture of the burned car and the story about Benghazi whistle-blowers being threatened by the White House. The issue is quite important and serious but right to the left of the picture is an advertisement for a new segment called Constitution USA. I believe that the website is undermined by such advertisement because they are suppose to be a nonbiased news organization and instead it appears that they believe that the government is corrupt and the constitution can save us. The picture right under undermines the website further because this is the quick link to the top stories. When you have heading like “Brosnan Relives Wife’s Death” right next to “Lack of Sleep May Harm Sperm” something is seriously wrong with the websites ethos. One has to wonder what would Brosnan say when he sees his story right next to “Oops! Teigen Has Dress Mess” or “Sheep That Glow in Dark.”
