Do you get annoyed by the herd of noisy Jackals everytime you turn on the News?

September 8th, 2009
Christopher Y asked:

Seems like every 10 minutes, no matter what News program you watch, there will be a bunch of noisy jackals that start debating, and it’s always over something stupid…

I want to see the World Events, but I am forced to turn the TV off so I don’t have to listen to their noise.

Why has the News turned into the Jerry Springer show?

I need an International news story (outside of Canada) that is interesting/weird/odd for a current events project it has to have happened in the past 2 weeks
The article needs to be long enough that I can make a summary out of it

Why am I so much happier and less stressed when I DON’T watch TV news or listen to talk radio?

Raging Hillbilly asked:

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenan? While I still try to keep up with current events, I find that when I have the news on for multiple hours at a time I become grumpy and negative. When I try to not listen to all the bad things the Media Biz focuses on, I am much happier. Anyone else see this too?

I have to do a “current event” thing for social studies and can’t find a good news story online. If you have one, please post the website link page where it is. NO SWINE FLU PLEASE.

What Topic should I write my Current Events Paper on?

May 5th, 2009
Jack I asked:

I have to write an 8-12 page paper on a current event (but not a general event, it has to be a specific aspect of the event). For example, say I was writing about terrorism, it would have to be something specific and current in the news. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

-thanks

***It has to be an issue/problem occurring in the world today, not just any random topic
