One news story, Two outlets

One news story, two outlets

The coverage of Joe Biden's announcement that he'll run for president was covered in slightly different ways by two different media outlets: Fox news and NBC news. I read coverage of the event from both outlets and I noticed some slight differences in language that made the Fox news article appear to be slightly more critical of Joe Biden. For example, in describing Joe Biden's background, Fox news describes his two unsuccessful runs for president, whereas the NBC News article describes Joe Biden's current campaign simply as his "third bid for the presidency." Both articles mention Joe Biden's video announcement and his campaign themes of fighting for the soul of the nation. Both view points also mention President Trump's reaction to the announcement and his name-calling of Biden as "Sleepy Joe,". However, the Fox News article mentions Trump's reaction much earlier in its article than NBC News. The NBC News article talks about Joe Biden's history and also his support from Obama and others, before it mentions Trump's negative reactions.

Violence in Video Games

Image
As more and more video games come into the limelight, more and more people are questioning the violent nature of some of these games. Violent video games are dangerous because they normalize abusive behavior mainly, including the violent act of killing others like other soldiers or an opposing man/woman. Some video games simulate military battles or drug dealers being chased by cops, in which usually some character will be murdered in the end. These teen and kid amusements become become dangerous as they treat violence as a form of entertainment. Some of the most popular ones are Call of Duty, ManHunt and ManHunt 2, Grand Theft Auto, Narc, and quite a few more which happen to be as equally inappropriate and violent. While these games are seen as prized possessions and a luxury item to some, it can be viewed as an influence to mass violence for others. With mass shootings especially in schools in the U.S. on the rise, it makes some believe that it is due to the output of more and more v

Killing Eve, BBC show

Image
   One of my favorite shows, Killing Eve, just came out with season two. Based around a spy expelling of horrible people from the world, or simply killing people who step into her path, the excitement around it all is what connects people to the story. What really drew me in and what I'm assuming brought others in as well was the fact of how in reality there are many terrible people that a lot wish to get rid of, especially head leaders of countries. So as the main character Villanelle, kills infamous people with a dark crime it allows us to go into this fantasy world which at some point in time we wish similar events like in the show happened in real life. I also believe what gets people so interested in it is how Villanelle can snap in any moment, which leaves us as the viewer with suspense at the ending of every scene or episode. Suspense is portrayed in a lot of movies and tv shows as it makes you interested in wanting more and more, almost as if it is never going to end. I

Sports fans, not everyone cares what you're talking about

        Sports fans, not everyone cares what you're talking about Whether you're kicking, tossing, hitting, catching or doing what not with a ball in a sport, then you are obviously focusing on your game and attempting to win. Yet if you're the one watching the game unfolding, whatever type of sport, you are focusing on the team that you're rooting for. Once the game is over and if your team won, congrats!!!!! The talk about sports should stay in the game time, pretty much what happens in the stadium stays in the stadium. If you and one other person decide to talk about sports at school across the room, everyone else in the class can hear, and everyone else does not care as they have most likely already gotten over the fact that their team won or lost. It seems to be that lately everyone goes on a social media frenzy after any type of sporting game occurs, which doesn't really seem to make sense as if they're not the one that played the game then why does it ma
