"Coffee on a Tuesday and Vlog twenty-six!"
So starts another vlog (video blog), this time, with Evan Puschak, web producer for MSNBC, talking about cheating. Evan's main thesis for this vlog is simple and true: we are cheaters because of society's expectations of us and therefore the phrase, "cheaters never win" is utterly and absolutely incorrect. Evan conveys this sad truth with the use of credible sources, citing Rutgers University's 1997 study on cheating as well as providing a concise and easy to understand analysis of his evidence. His target audience, subscribers of his Youtube channel (Theenerdwriter1), is given a reality check and then urged to ponder this case. He does not ask us to change as he probably knows that no one will ever stop cheating, whether it be on a test, paper, or even significant other. Evan ends the video, just asking as rhetorical question to make us think about this even after the video is over.
