The Cleveland Shooting

In this particular story is sad but you see it all the time. You probably did it yourself back in school? Everybody sees that one or group of kids that are easy targets and they get constantly picked on. The attackers say they are just playing but the victum takes the abuse to heart. They can only take it for so long and then someone is going to snap. I don't think it was a race issue because he got picked on everyday and he took it everyday until he snapped.

Disabilities

I do believe the media uses disabilties as either a medical story or an inspirational feature story but its should more about everday life. To me I like hearing about someone overcoming their hardship and succeding in life, which is what the media shows. And I couldn't how we could show them different. Any suggestions?

Getting News

This is my very first blog...I know its late but Im still doing it. I get my news mainly by the television or by hear. The news I seek out is sports, but news about race and gender I get by hear. I don't go out and look for it, I just happen to hear it on the radio or the person I'm talking to just brings it up. The media puts the the things they think is news, majority of it is, but they are also molding peoples opinions about certain topics also.
