Goodness, truth, and Public speaking

A question of morals is important to debating good orators. I believe that you do not have to be morally good to be a good orator. Someone may lie, cheat, and steal, but still be able to convince you to do an action based on ethos, pathos, and logos. It is up to the audience to have a critical mind in their interpretation of the information which is presented to them. The connection between goodness, truth, and public communication, is the intent which started the process. The orator may have wanted to “help the world,” however found that their message would not be heard if they did not break some of their moral righteousness.
