General Note of the Media

September 21, 2009 by alessandrocalabrese

Was looking at some various Media sources when trying to find an interesting topic to write about. Then i realized.. every topic is based on depressing and negative feedback, with the intent to make me worry and panic. These topics didnt instigate me to write.. more than anthing they instigate me to want to do other things.. spend less, support armed forces and stop using non “green” products.. I must listen to all these stories so i can satisfy the mainstream issues regarding our country.. it’s difficult to find issues and topics that can be relevant to specific individuals in specific areas of the U.S.

Most topics presented in Prime Time news are used to gain ratings, not to inform on relevant and honest topics.. It’s sad that eventhough it is a tool for our knowledge, it becomes treated like every other business tool. Can individuals ever gain valuable information from the news without being sold a false and irrelevent issue ? I dont know. I guess as long as ratings are high, its a front page story.

Obama and his statement

September 17, 2009 by alessandrocalabrese

I recently saw the clips and footage on the news of Obama calling Kanye West a “Jackass”. It’s great fun and entertaining, but i don’t see how it has any relevance to the real world events that are occurring, and can be placed next to issues such as health care, war and finances. It’s great that the president has such an opinion, but political minds just waste their time when listening to such issues, that have no effect or importance on their daily lives… cool, another jackass.. what else to say. Seeing clips and stories of this genre really opens my eyes to who is the actual audience of these prime time news shows.. my only question is, do educated individuals even watch prime time news ???
