Older Brother Media Turned Scrutinized
416 wordsTo ensure a free society, our forefathers granted us the universal right to free speech. This meant that anyone could be scrutinized, if the information was true, by the media. The LAPD officers who beat Rodney King were scrutinized; Richard Nixon was scrutinized; even Jerry Springer has been scrutinized. These accusations by the media turned out to be true, and that is fine with me, but what about when the media jumps too far ahead? OJ Simpson is still portrayed as a criminal years after he was...

1,447 words"Everything you know about the Littleton killings is wrong. But the truth may be scarier than the myths" (Cullen 1999, p. 1). This is the title of an article that claims that "what was reported last spring about the motives and methods of killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold was untrue" (Cullen 1999, p. 1). The question that arises from this claim, is how can that be so? How can the "most notorious events from the shooting spree - reported over and over in news reports, on TV chat shows and now...

Causes Those Americans Living With Fear Gun
354 wordsDirector Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine presented a lot of issues on guns and gun control.

Also, having a gun laying around the house gives the children in that household the wanting to ex...

Todays Youth Media Violence
718 wordsColumbine Shooting April 20 th, at Columbine Senior High School in Littleton, Jefferson County, Colorado, two teenage gunmen entered the school and began shooting.

No, actually it is just the beginning. Racism is just like warfare in which there is no shelter and nobody is neutral. ...
