News Sources-Blog #1


I get my news from several different sources because I like to hear multiple points of view. I want to understand all sides of an issue. I want to hear other perspectives, so I can decide where I stand on any particular issue. Here are five of my favorite news sources. 


1. Fox News:

To be honest, I started watching Fox News with my parents when I was young. They made me and my siblings watch Fox News, CNN, and BBC every weekend. They instilled in us the belief that it is important to know all the different views so we can make our own decisions. Now that I am old enough to vote I realize that this was really good advice. So now, I watch Fox News because I want to hear the conservative point of view. It is important to get the conservative point of view because it is a Presidential election year. I want to make sure I hear both sides before I vote in November. I would recommend this news source because it will give you the conservative view that you will not get on any of the other mainstream media stations.

2. CNN:

I watch CNN because I want to hear the liberal point of view as well. I get a completely different viewpoint from Fox News. It is amazing how divided this country is these days. The CNN shows have many commentators so you are exposed to several different views in one show. These shows use a panel format which usually consists of four to six people. I would recommend this news source because it provides great political coverage and gives a liberal viewpoint.

3. BBC:

I also watch BBC. I have traveled to Europe many times. I have also been to the Dominican Republic. I learned about different cultures and their political systems. By watching BBC, I can hear the European view of America. I can also learn about what is going on in other countries around the world. I would recommend this channel because our American news channels do not cover the rest of the world as extensively as the BBC.

4. ESPN:

I love sports! I am an avid sports fan. ESPN is my news source for sports. Instead of going to multiple different sources such as MLB, NFL, MLS, and the Golf Channel, which only cover their specific sport, ESPN covers all sports such as baseball, football, soccer, and golf. I can get my sports updates from one place. I would highly recommend this source. You can get all your sports scores, highlights, and breaking news. ESPN keeps all sports fans up to date on the latest news in sports.

5. This Week on ABC:

I have been watching This Week recently because it is a very good political commentary show. This being an election year, I want to stay informed about everything going on with the candidates. This show gives political analysis, and interviews with government officials and also has a panel which discusses all the latest news.I would recommend this news source for the next six months to stay informed before the Presidential election in November.

Privacy Lost

 Our world has changed positively and negatively, over the past twenty-five years since scientists at CERN created the World Wide Web. (https://home.cern) The positive changes include how the internet transformed how the world does business. The Internet made doing business, easier, faster, and more efficient. For example, before the Internet, documents such as contracts or invoices, had to be sent through the US Post office, or by courier, or faxed. All of which took time. Thanks to the Internet, these documents can be sent and received immediately through email or text. Another positive is how websites such as Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok enable us to keep in touch with friends and family who may live far away. We can keep them updated with pictures of what we have been up to. However, as wonderful as all of these positives have been, they have come at a cost. The cost has been our privacy. Before the internet existed, we determined who saw our pictures, who we told about our vaca

Values of Free Expression

The Values of Free Expression   After more than a century of religious oppression under European and colonial rule, the framers of the US Constitution sought to create a more enlightened society where fundamental freedoms would be protected and thereby create a stronger country and society. The founding Fathers came up with the Bill of Rights and one of the amendments was the First Amendment which protected the freedom of speech, religion, and the right to assemble from government oppression. Many of these ideas were articulated in the Federalist Papers and were derived from philosophers and economists such as John Locke and John Milton. James Madison, who was one of the authors of the Federalist Papers, "introduced 12 amendments to the First Congress in 1789. Ten of these would go on to become what we now consider the Bill of Rights."  The Constitution In 1859 John Stuart Mill published On Liberty. "Is thought to be the origin of translating market competition into a th
