Outfoxed

* What type of news reporting should we travel in the United States? Does Fox news represent other news channel?
A consideration of how other news outlets operates is necessary to show just how different Fox News Channel is from CNN, MSNBC, PBS or the Network News on ABC, CBS or NBC. If, as certain people suggest, CNN is the Clinton News Network, how is their practicing of journalism any different from Fox's? The documentary makes too many assumptions about what constitutes objective journalism. It ends up sounding like liberal journalism
* If you owned a news channel, what should you do differently from what you observed in video? Who would you hire? What would you want your target audience to be?

Family environment and the press are two major influences resulting in the recent tragic school shootings. As much as society continues to focus the killing rampages on factors such as television and music, what children are exposed to in reality contributes to the violence. The most recent school shooting in Michigan involved a six-year-old first...
In the past there were and are many disputes over the high salaries of professional athletes. I think that these athletes should receive the high salaries that they deserve.
