The rhetorical style is combative, accusatory, and blunt, especially aimed at the coalition and ERR (Estonian Public Broadcasting). To clarify the nature of political propaganda, strong historical comparisons (Joseph Goebbels) and personal examples (Anna Levandi, biolabs) are utilized to bolster the legal arguments. The speaker blends the formal introduction of the draft bill with sharp political attacks and personal anecdotes.

Legal arguments are employed (citing the Advertising Act) to bolster the emotional and ethical accusation of lying. The tone is demanding and seeks a swift procedural resolution to the minister's alleged unethical conduct.
