INVESTIGATING A STORY GAME!

the purpose of the game was to teach you how to investigate a story. they were trying to teach you to expose the truth, but make sure that your facts are correct first. dont make hasty moves and ask the right questions. the most important thing to do as a reporter is to expose the truth and let people know what's going on in the world. the main motivation in today's mainstream media is to also expose the truth, but sometimes i feel like they're not focusing on more important issues such as the war or the actual candidate, they're more interested in people's bad traits to make things more interesting. what i feel that a reporter should do it to focus on things that are important in today's society and to expose the truth to people so they know what's going on because theres ALWAYS something fishy going on. reporters should report the truth and not do it for the money or fame.

NEWS

The topic I want to talk about this week is the one on "Joe the plumber". He was getting so much fame from the incident when he talked to Obama when he went to his street to do some campagining. Mr. Joe went up the Obama and asked if he was going to raise his taxes because his small business is making 250,000 - 280,000 a year and he was worried that his tax raises will affect him. Little did we know, Mr. Joe, was a LIAR!! he is not a LICENSED plumber and he owes back taxes in the state of Ohio. So when we were thinking too much about this man, we were losing focus on what really mattered, the actual candidates. I believe that we should focus more on the election and less on the people/media that tries to make little things grow big. We wasted our time listening to a LIAR.

ELECTIONS!

For this year's school election, I was supporting kevin dang for senior class president. He is a close friend of mine and I've known him since freshman year. I believe that he is a good candidate for this position because I know him personally and I know that he will make good changes to this school. He's a very dedicated person and has always worked hard for what he wants. He's a guy that everyone likes because he don't like confrontations so he try to have more friends than enemies. He's a funny guy and he has a great personality. I know he'll be a good candidate for this position and I can't wait to see what he does to our school and our senior class. I wish him all the best!...
