My thoughts

Well I know we are supposed to blog about a news article, but I have been sitting at this computer for about 10 hours. I have been trying to get caught up on my math and finishing up my last test. Well needless to say it has been a very long evening. My mind is fried and I really could not find a article that I could connect with to write about, so I decided to blog about some of my feelings about all the news articles that I have seen tonight.

I mean all the news you see on T.V. and on-line is all the same. It is all about death or murder or how some famous person screwed up. It is so depressing! I know that some people out there really like to read about what is going on out there, and on some level I do too. The problem I am having is that I am sick of hear about all the garbage out there. Where are all the good stories about happy things. I am tired of hearing about all the sick and demented people out there. Yes there are stories out there about good and happy things, but so far few and in between anymore. It is hard to sit and read story after story, about child molesters, murders, or some golfer that cheated on his wife.

People don't seem to understand the effect that the media has on the public. The media has a lot of power and most don't even know it. They have influence on what people say, do and even how they spend there money. People trust in what the media say and most believe everything they hear. When in fact most of the time the media is just out to get good ratings. Even if they have to stretch the true or straight up lie. They say what is necessary for good news, or as they say bad news is good news.

Like I said before I didn't do a blog on a news article. I did an article about how I feel about most of the news articles. Well I guess I will say sorry Mrs. Chism that I didn't post a blog on a news article, but it has just been one of those days.

  1. I guess you missed the announcement before Thanksgiving that, starting the week after Thanksgiving, you could blog about your life and opinions once a week. This is fine.
