There are roughly 120 Earth quakes that happen each year over a 6.0. Roughly 1000 per year over a 5.0. That is one every 3 days. Every three days people die in earthquakes that destroy countries.
BUT, how many news stories got published before Haiti? Once a month? Maybe. [...]
What is with the modern focus on children? I guess I just don’t see these kids as prodigies. A recent news story (the kid who doesn’t pledge) let the father speak. He said his child was a person, with equal rights (on a side note, the kid was taking about equal rights) [...]
The story surfaced on CNN on Oct 24. “Get a conscience, not a costume,” is the title. It is focused on a new wave of Halloween costumes, an alien carrying a green card. The story claims racism on part of the producer, but I agree with the manufacturer’s statement, “The only people [...]
There is a new story being released by CNN that has been building for years: online images of sensitive locations to our nation’s security. In the past few years, technology has hit a new peak with high-resolution images that can be accessed by any regular internet connection. I agree with the story; these images should [...]
Sotomayor is the new Supreme Court judge. I have a few things to say about this issue. There is a large debate about race and Obama’s reasons for the nomination.
First of all, Obama has added more diversity to positions than any other president. We have the first black head of NASA and many others. This [...]
It finally made the news! I have wondered for years how long it would take for the media to catch wind of the new idea of outsourcing homework. This idea of hiring Asians and Indians to write papers though such sites as GreatEssay.com is just ridiculous. I have known about these services [...]
There needs to be a requirement for making a story “Headline News.” Headline News means, besides the obvious of being the headline, that it is important to a majority of people. It means that somehow most people see relevance, impact, or insight into the issue. Why do all these fluff pieces make [...]
I am appalled at the recent adjustment in the news from Iran to Jackson. Leave it to the less intelligent specimens on this planet to be more interested in Jacko than in a regime overturning. Now there are arguments over whether drugs killed him. Let me break it down, when you have hundreds of surgeries [...]
I scrolled through the news today, counting stories. I found 27 stories about hate, hate speech, racism, and hate crimes. I would like to focus on just a few, but no worries, I picked the best. Twenty-four of these stories focus on the recent Holocaust Museum shooting. There is no disagreement from me that people [...]
I like the news, and I normally use the CNN.com website to get caught up on events each day. I have said it before: I think the stories are turning into “infotainment.” I am not here to be entertained. Today, when reading about horrible parents, frivolous lawsuits, and one more lost job, I came across [...]
