For me, to get the my news, I check a lot of sources. I don't have a particular favorite source, but use all of them to see what is accurate or credible. I watch Fox2 News, which takes more of a neutral bias, because it gives conservative stories equal time as the liberals, which most news stations seem primarily liberal. I also watch NBC, ABC, and CBN, which I think is pretty cool, because its news from a Christian standpoint, which gives news that the mainstream media chooses not to let the world know, such as civilians in Iraq thanking our troops for being there. Mainstream news continuously wants to give us a mindset that things are not going well over there and that it is Bush's fault. I also check CNN and the internet as well. I use all of these sources for a well balanced news standpoint. I get a little of each side's view and make a decision on what is accurate and what is just bias.
By doing this, it is funny many times to hear the left side say that Fox2 news is conservative. I on the other hand think it gives equal time. In mainstream broadcasting which is primarily liberal, giving time to conservatives as well means that (to liberals) the station is taking a more conservative side. That is what I think they are doing. It has become mainstream or “normal” as you would, to hear left-side bias in the news that hearing conservative views is out of the ordinary.

Presentations
As far as presentations go thus far, I have really enjoyed pretty much all of them. Everyone has done a great job. I’ve noticed that things ran a lot better today on Thursday perhaps from learning from the presentations on Tuesday. I know that I did for my presentation.
First off I’d like to give honorable mention to Chris Abbas for signing up to go first. That must have took a lot of courage. I really enjoyed his analysis on “Remember the Titans” and how good an actor Denzel Washington was in portraying coach Boone. “Remember the Titans” is one of my favorite movies. I liked how Le Meisha used her personal experiences as support for her presentation. Herman’s presentation about “Rush Hour” I really enjoyed too. It is nice to have someone explain that “unwritten rule” of the use of the N-word. Rush Hour is another favorite of mine as well. Nice job volunteering and being prepared when it wasn’t your day to present!
Today’s presentations were great. I had never seen any of the movies that were presented today, however it seemed that everyone who went knew their topics. I thought Meghan really knew what she was talking about in her analysis of “Bamboozled”. She was quite knowledgeable of the director as well. Jillian’s “Shopgirl” was really good as well. I like how most of her slides were pictures instead of text, which really gave her a lot of room to talk freely about the movie and explain it better. Even though I had never seen “40 Year Old Virgin”, I learned a lot about it from Sami and found it quite humorous.
Presentations have really gone smoothly and I look forward to the rest of them on Tuesday. Great job everyone, and for looking professional too!!
