This shows that the journalist is getting a great deal of praise for it involvement in the uncovering of the Belgrano scandal and the source also highlights that the journalist were the reason for the campaigns continuation.

One of the flaws that the opposition notices is that in way shield laws afford extra privileges to journalists and that no citizen should be able to ignore a court ordered subpoena. Simply put, journalist would be placed above the law. Justice Department Official John Ashcroft stated that “reporters today are driven by their editors to deliver tersely written “scoops” usually whispered to them by individuals with political or self-serving agendas who refuse to be identified” and that they “should ultimately be held accountable for acting recklessly and irresponsibly. Allowing journalist this privilege would only further allow them you be able to utilize non-credible sources. Opponents also cite problems with defining who is considered a journalist or news gatherer and who is not.
Especially we need to recognize that the Internet is a public environment everyone has access to. As Justice Samuel Alito, Jr. argued, “Protecting this kind of Internet speech posed ‘a very grave threat of domestic violence” (Denniston). Elonis’ case is definitely different from Virginia v. Black in 2003 because burning a cross does not show a clear message and only involves a limited amount of people, but Elonis’ words online can speak clearly that he would do something and convey to a much wider audience, making them fear and nervous. If everyone is free to speak any violence word as Elonis did online, the society will be in completely chaos. Everyone will live in fear because saying terrorism is all right.
“The Detention Scandal” is an editorial taken from the America magazine. In this article, the authors show how national security is used as an excuse to keep the prisoners on the Guantanamo Bay.

The authors use the different components of persuasion throughout the article.
According to Michael Moore’s documentary, I assume that media can’t be trustworthy unless people explore for the accurate news and find out who is behind those news and TV shows. Some media images could be fabricated to edited or transmitted from the wrong place. Furthermore the problem with some government’s TVs that they use lots of intimidation in their news, and most people believe it and they build their thoughts on what they hear in the news without searching for the true information. For example, there is an American TV show called “Cops”, it is a documentary of reality shows the way how cops search for criminals and how they chase them. They usually show that that the criminals are black people and the white cops are chasing them.
Throughout history, people can not exist without storytelling because of its great power and the materials that shapes every human endeavour. Storytelling satisfied need to explain surrounding physical world, the novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories is an intriguing tale that could easily be classified as a children's story, but beneath its surface it shows one man's struggle to overcome censorship and religious persecution.

Since Janet Jackson's bare breasted reveal during the superbowl in 2004, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) took large steps to crack down on "oscenities, indecencies, and profanity" usage in television. Unfortunately, they aren't staying away from the cable networks as they ought to. Yet, the FCC is seeming to be biased when it comes to judging what is obscene, indecent and profane, that one can only question if they even know how to define the use of profanity themselves. This especially, is getting cable networks fired up because the FCC now wants to start regulation on the cable front, which brings up concerns as to if the FCC is stepping on the networks' first amendment rights. But, the public knowingly buys their cable services, so this begs the question, can't they edit their television?
The Washington Times and the Washington Post, two online periodicals, posted an article about President Bush’s point of view about deportation. “Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic. It’s just not going to work,” Mr. President said. “The biggest problem in this debate is going to be what to do with the people who are already in our country illegally.” “A person ought to be allowed to get in line. In other words, pay a penalty for being here illegally, commit him or herself to learn English, which is part of the American system, and get in the back of the line.” President Bush is against massive deportation of illegal immigrants; he states that a massive deportation won’t help the United States solve the problems with illegal
