Vargas does an excellent job of showing Zuckerberg’s story compared to the infamous story more publicized by the media, allowing the reader to form their own opinion of Zuckerberg and the scandals surrounding him. Vargas even goes so far as to interview the director of the movie. The interview with Sorkin, the director of “The Social Network”, gives the reader a solid identity of the public face of Mark Zuckerberg, or at least how the public has viewed Zuckerberg’s life thus far. The very next section however, the author cleverly begins another intimate and personal look into Zuckerberg’s life. This immediate contrast between the public and private life of Zuckerberg helps the reader instantly see the major distinctions between the two.
The first chapter we read focused on the dealers and their galleries. Thompson talks about the various methods these dealers sue to both establish their trust from artists and their name for money. As I was reading the chapter, it almost felt like I was watching the beginning of some old Mafia movie like “Goodfellas”. Thompson seemed to introduce the dealers as the players behind the art world. Describing their careers from a macro perspective, Thompson communicates to the reader that these are the people behind the curtain.
We are all familiar with OJ Simpson’s case.

Authorities found that Chaney further spread the illegal photos to celebrity blog sites, who would then post them on the web. Chaney confessed that he hacked the e-mail accounts by first researching celebrity information, which later helped him to correctly answer the security questions that were displayed on the “forgot your password” feature. According to the U. S. attorney’s office, once he got into the celebrities’ e-mail accounts, he would then search through their contacts, for more potential targets to hack. While in the celebrity’s e-mail box, Chaney then would change the settings to forward a copy of every e-mail sent, back to his own e-mail. On Monday, U-S District Court Judge S. James Otero, sentenced Chaney to one hundred twenty months, in prison, while also ordering him to pay an exact compensation of $66,179.
How many of the events portrayed on the show actually take place? Do they really film the show from these exotic locations that they are allegedly filmed at or do they have a set in Los Angeles somewhere, ninety percent (just a guess, no actual evidence to back this) of the stunts performed on the show could just as easily have taken place in a park in the middle of the city? Everything Speight writes about the way reality television is made totally makes me think the editors of the show just film the contestants for a given time period and then take enough of the clips to make a show that they think will attract viewers interests. Writers of these reality shows have to be very clever and hard working people. To be constantly recording and monitoring what reality TV actors or actresses are saying and trying to craft the perfect interview questions to get the answers they need to get to obtain a catchy and entertaining story line that will keep viewers coming back for more episode after episode.
Bowling for Columbine Michael Moore’s award winning documentary of 2002, Bowling for Columbine, sets out to determine why America has such a high rate of domestic gun violence. Cunningly exploiting interview techniques when speaking with Marilyn Manson, Moore attacks the news media, suggesting a prevailing culture of fear which exists among the American public. Similarly, in another interview with Matt Stone, the director highlights the interviewee’s sense of trust and power, this time confronting the fatal flaws which are evident among the American government and education systems. The director conducts interviews in order to aid his portrayal of different groups and individuals. When Moore conducts interviews with people whom he intends to foreground as trustworthy and intelligent, the atmosphere is very relaxed and laid back.
Just last week, a "clickjacking" scam that claimed Lady Gaga was found dead in a hotel room spread like wildfire on BlackPlanet thanks to a link that took users to a fake BBC News website. Ploys such as the Lady Gaga scam aim to increase clicks to a page or link because they are paid by advertisers for every click they help generate. Others steal personal information, from names to addresses that are extracted when users fill out a fake survey, and that data is later sold to other
United States: Ground Zero Terrorism is a criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim. The terrorists plan their attack to obtain great publicity and choosing targets that symbolize what they oppose. We will always remember September 11, 2001. Most of us can remember our locations on this horrific Tuesday morning as we witnessed the second plane hit the South Tower. We felt vulnerable and grieved as we tried to piece the puzzle of this horrendous catastrophe we wondered who was to blame for this attack.
These can all be seen as reasons to why America has such a high gun murder rate. Turn on the news and there you see it, another murder in the capital city.it feels as if this is all that we see on the news. What about the stories about the good happy things? Why doesn’t the news broadcast stories that make the American people feel happy and proud? Instead of these stories they inflict fear into the American people.
