For the first time I sat in class today and watch Bill O' Reilly. I have heard his name before but he isn't relevant enough to me to look at his show or anything that he is on. But today as I watch him in action it gave me more of a reason not to watch anything that he is on. His demeanor is arrogant. When he was interviewing Jeremy Glick he heard what he wanted to hear and took his words and turned them around to something that was true.He made Jeremy look as if he was the bad guy. The issue that was talked about left the guy in a corner trying to box him self out. Yes BILL O' Reilly is rude disrespectful,he yells and a there's a whole bunch of other names that I would't be able to say on this blog. I guess his hook phrase is shut up when he knows someone is going to make a valid point that would make him look less of a news commentator. When your working for a conservative station such as fox you are trained and have certain standards that you must abide by. After watching the movie Outfoxed it gave me a whole different aspect of being careful of what your watching and what type of information that is being put on television
. Fox just give a one-sided point of view so we can see the glam and the glitter of the republicans. Its hardly ever anything shameless about republicans. Since 2012 elections coming around and I have been watching the new I just notice I have only seen 1 commercial with Barack Obama about his re-election. I have seen several commercial with Romney or something that pertains to him. The delivery of the new is an opinion more-so than facts. I think that its a certain script that the commentators has to stick to and even though the may have their own opinion or may know whats really right but while there on TV they better not share it. If it is shared there probably some type of repercussion.
Nancy Grace came off as a passionate,strong opinionated, emotional, a lot of expression, a little name calling but overall all she is she is straight forward. This is also my first time watching a full 61 mins of her show. I like her show. I see her catch phrase is calling people out which she did and did a hell of a job doing it. This show aired on 10/18 this one wasn't about politics it was about a teen dad the killed is 6 month old daughter and only get 90 days in jail. Nancy was outrage. she couldn't believe and I couldn't either. She called out judges, parents, prosecutors whomever had any type of connection to the case was called out. Nancy has no hold back. To me I think she don't like people who seem as if they are going to give her bs response. She did give people a chance to talk. She didn't seem as if she had a script sitting in front of her that she must go of or some type of agenda. She works for and unbiased station that has more liberals. Even though the news station may present themselves as liberals they may lean more towards the democratic side. It also depends on how the news station is ran. I really like this show I plan on looking at the next episode.
Overall I have learned something new. I learned that we most be careful of what we watch because its a message that is being sent out to you wouldn't even notice. The way I look at the form of news that is being delivered is shameless.Basically, we have to do our own research to find out the real news and after we do our research, then we have to do research on the research to find out what is fact or an opinion. At the end of it all we have to use own discretion when watching the news or any other shows.
