Response to Lily-J1

When reading Lily Wobbe’s blog I found some things that I disagree with. One specifically her blog titled” Trump: America's Last President?”  I think this blog was a bit of an overreaction on her part. Let me explain why.
When having this discussion we were just mentioning the point some journalist were making in Trump becoming  America’s last president. I do  agree that these so called journalist do over exaggerate the stories. Trump isn’t a fascist. Only people with extreme views believe such a thing.
Lily states “Let's dissect that. In order for Trump to be the last American president, total chaos and/or anarchy would essentially have to have consumed the U.S., whether this be by way of nuclear war, natural disasters, of just complete revolution among citizens. And we're a very long way from any of those happening to the degree that democracy in America collapse” . I disagree. To understand the United States politics you must go back. The downfall of America has been brewing for some time now. What i like to call modern history(1920-current) has seen the most change, the most havoc. First with the women's movement,then the Civil Rights Movement,the LGBTQ+ movement  that fighting hard for their rights. But, they do say what comes around goes back around in history. I’m starting to feel the sense that country is going down hill into revolution again to make better for ourselves and future generations. We the people are divided all over the place. Racism is ruining everything from jobs to just regular friendships. I don’t think it is a very long way from happening.
We have a president that goes and fights countries over Twitter. The people have every right to angry. Nuclear war is still a great possibility. We still have North Korea, Russia, Iran to deal with. With the president we have any of those countries could revolt against us any day. I hope never to see that day ever. I just think our president  isn’t grasping the idea that being president isn’t like running a business. 
The president is most certainly destroying our democratic processes. He said he would pardon himself. That is very dangerous. I think we need a president that can read the Constitution. He has fired FBI agent James Comey because he wouldn’t give him loyalty. Doesn’t that sound like corruption to you? Breaking his Constitutional powers?
This isn’t an easy issue to talk about. Lily I respect your dedication and hardwork to do your blog. Lastly, I respect your opinion, and hope for you to read this.

News Response-J1

When searching WLKY’s  website, I find very good stories one I just read was very informative. This story was named “ Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect pleads not guilty, requests jury trial”. I applaud the jouralist who wrote this--(https://www.wlky.com/article/squirrel-hill-synagogue-shooting-suspect-pleads-to-charges/24512762). They gave great info. Detailed charge details for the killer. This article is the golden piece to the first thing you learn in journalism, the truth. WE should all use this example for any journalism class. This is the most unbiased piece I’ve ever seen. I think we need to be unbiased. Too many times I see biased news stories which aren’t good for the public. He/She did not let her opinion show one bit. She/ He got straight to the facts and never looked back.

J1 Blog- News Response

When we log the news in Mr.Miller's class. I find it quite interesting. We usually have similar top stories. I find this  interesting because you’d think the news stories would be different. But, then again we are in Louisville and these are all local channels. Some stations branch out more than others. I know WLKY loves to report from Southern Indiana. I find that good and bad, let me explain. I know when i either watch or read the news I want find stuff that local(Louisville). Southern Indiana doesn’t affect me at all. Why should I be reading about Southern Indiana? I live In Louisville. I we can find stories in Louisville. We as journalist need to be good at having local relevance. I would say WLKY hasn’t been so good at this, at least recently. I think when writing a story they should ask to themselves “Why do people need to know about this?”. This could also be a good thing too because at the same time people should be willing to be involved in semi-local matters. It doe...

Printing Press Discussion-What if it didn't exist?-J1

Today in class we talked about how our lives would be different if the printing press didn’t exist. I can tell you know that we had some deep thoughts in this discussion. My first reaction was me not doing anything but working. We wouldn’t have any kind of school unless you were rich. Imagine not having a chance to go to school because you’re poor or not good enough. That would be outrageous. We would all be illiterate. Books would be few, and life would be hard. We would have to literally sit around and talk amongst each other. What a radical idea? Things would be very different. I heard multiple people say they wouldn’t even be here. Either they were mixed or their parents met in college. The reason I say mixed people wouldn’t be alive is because their ancestors come from different areas around the world. People didn’t travel  much prior to the Colonial era. People lived tight knit societies. You would have regional activities that only they would know. There would be many di...
