Some random thoughts about news and personal responsibility…
So we watched OutFoxed in class the other night and many students seemed pissed off about Fox’s bias news reporting. Yes FOX is very bias in what they say and show but they are not the only news source that is bias nor are they the only source of news. I think people have their own personal responsibility to look at an array of news outlets to get the news. News and information is out there and is available to people, you just have to take the time to find it and read it. It sort of seemed like people used FOX and other bias news sources as an excuse to not inform themselves about current global issues. During the discussion there was only one student who spoke up and said that she spent time each day to look up the news on numerous different sources to help ensure she was getting the news from all sides. I just think that people need to take some responsibility and go out and get the news for themselves rather that complain about the mainstream news sources…..

I think people really do need to find their own news source that they can trust. I personally don't spend my time looking for different sources. I kind of jsut trust whatever I read. Maybe that is not the best way to do it but I get the jist of what the news says.
