My 5 top sources for news and information 


When I was looking over my top 5 news sources from last semester, I thought my sources wouldn't change but it turns out I use many different outlets to receive my news. I found that so interesting because that was last semester, it goes to show that a lot can change in a course of 6 months.

CNN 

While CNN leans it's biased towards a liberal standpoint, when I need to see what's going on they are the ones that usually pop on. When I search for anything news-related, they are also the ones at the top of my search list. Something that also makes me automatically look at them for news is the fact that they also have a Spanish channel. I would say they are reliable but would also suggest looking at other news sources just so it isn't as biased and you get to see the whole picture.



The Washington Post

When I need to look at anything that relates to the president or congress, I always go see what "The Washington Post" has up. It gives me a good sense of what's new and happening around the U.S. The reason why this would be on my recommend list is because it gives you so much information on the government and they are constantly updating or making new articles.




The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal is one of my favorite news sources because they do a pretty good job of staying accurate and not going off biased. They focus on all points of news not just the government but everything that affects the U.S. I enjoy reading their articles and it helps me see the whole picture not just some parts of it.




Fox News

Fox News is definitely more on the Right side of biased, this is probably why I like to refer back to them whenever I have any questions about republicans or the President. I also always watch Fox 8 when I'm at home.



Univision

Univision will always be on my list because it's what I grew up watching. While it's not just a news channel, there are 3 to 4 different tv shows that focus solely on news. They do tend to focus more on social issues concerning the Latino community. They are also known for interviewing very important political figures around the world.

Privacy and Ted Talks: Blog 9

 Ted Talks As I listened to various ted talks about privacy, I learned all the ways the government is tracking our every move. I was not that shocked because at this point we have trackers in our phone, and don't get me started on the Cover Tracker that just magically appeared one day. Two of the talks that stuck with me were Juan Enriquez's "Your online life, permanent as a tattoo" and Darieth Chisolm's "How revenge porn turns your life upside down." They both were interesting and explained well what social media or pictures do to your life.  Juan talked about how what you post online can send a message just like a tattoo does. Darieth spoke on her experience with revenge porn and how much it effected her life. How it changed the way she saw media and what people can do just to get revenge. How do I feel There are many things that I wish I would have never shared online or with my electronic devices. I think that we have no privacy and that it will not

First Amendment, what is okay and what is not: Blog 3

Peaceful Protests and Black Lives Matter   Throughout the last few months there have been more than 2,000 protests all around the world trying to bring awareness towards the black community and police brutality.   Following the murder of George Floyd, the Black Lives Matter movement has seen many peaceful protests. The first amendment gives you freedom of speech, and the freedom to assemble. Under the U.S. constitution as long as you have a permit and the protest is peaceful then you can go out in the streets and use two of your freedoms.   The problem that has occurred is that many of these peaceful protests have become violent and have involved looting. This has strike controversy among many people regardless of their party. Whether you believe that the looting was justified or not, or if the peaceful protests were not the same with the violent protests under the first amendment the violent protests are not protected.   I think many people have decided to associate the BLM protests w
