After analyzing the case and calling for several holdings, on June 19th of the year 2000 the Supreme Court decided that these practices were indeed a violation to the United States Constitution. In a six to three verdict, the Court stated that the pre-game prayers induced denizens to believe that the government supported these public religious events. At such conclusion, the acceptance of these actions disobeyed the Establishment Clause. Additionally, the fact that the student speech was not a private event gave the Supreme Court to further abolish its continuation. Along
In 2004 the U.S. Supreme Court voted 5 to 4 in favor of the FCC "Golden Globe Statement". The ruling states that accidental or unplanned outbursts of profanity or indecency on television and/or radio are subject to fines and other disciplinary action. This stricter policy came about because several incidents involving celebrities that drew widespread public complaint, including Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction at the super bowl, and Cher, Bono, and Paris Hilton all cursing during a live broadcast of an award show. Fox appealed the Supreme Court decision. In 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided that the FCC policy on fleeting expletives is random, not enforced consistently and violates the First Amendment.
“That’s not the way the media wants to take it and spin it and turn it into fear because then your watching television… news and your being pumped full of fear… it’s a campaign of fear and consumption- interview” How this alters my perspective> the media isn’t always reliable and it can be very inaccurate and misleading. It also changes my perspective in the way that the media has the power to change the way people think and believe in. Third paragraph: *The irony that the government doesn’t get blamed for the gun violence when they frequently get involved in foreign affairs (Archival footage & music) 1963-1975: American military kills 4 million civilians in south East Asia. 1991: American planes bombs Iraq on a weekly basis 2001: Osama Bin Laden uses expert CIA training to murder 3000 people. “I think that’s really ironic that nobody said maybe the president had any influence on this violent behavior.”- Interview How this alters my perspective: thinking that the government always tries to help, this makes it very contradicting, the govt.
Abel Ramirez Araiza SOCI 1301 Assignment 2 7 October 2010 Control Room Controversy can easily misconstrue the actions and opinions of others in various ways. Pointing the finger and defining criminal acts does not seem hard, especially when policy makers are the ones doing it (Lecture). In the Control Room, media is the main object in which surrounds the movie. At the beginning, George W. Bush comes out on the television giving a speech to the Arabs about “peace” and promising that America is not seeking war between Iraq, only peace. After the speech subtitles stated, “Bush talked about peace, yet people were getting killed”, which to me, after watching the entire movie, basically summed up the main idea of the story and how ideological
In 2001 Bernard Goldberg released his book “Bias A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News.” In it Goldberg voices his accounts at CBS where he worked as a reporter and a producer for nearly thirty years. He discusses how liberal bias influences the mainstream media. He tells us how he comes to this opinion and how he attempted to bring this to the attention of the network executives. When he comes to the conclusion that no one will listen or do anything about the problem he decides to blow the whistle on his own company and the mainstream press in a Wall Street Journal piece. I chose this topic because I thought that liberal bias in the mainstream media existed but never really did any research.
Not only at is Bolt trying to slam the ethicists but it is the last push for his arguments to really stand out by slamming them “after all, even in the world… an ethicists is” this point is thrown into the works with the sense that whatever the ethicists have stated, it would be completely rejected by the audience after all the torturous and antagonising events that have been reported by Bolt and the plain and simple fact that the audience has hopefully been swayed into Bolt’s contention. Although it is known that Bolt has a very strong opinion on the topic of abortion and feels that it is completely and utterly wrong to abort a baby at both stages before and after birth. Bolt has been able to not only acknowledge an exception but to attempt to convince the audience through his antagonising and torturous
In which was the world’s main concern in so many ways; that Moore turned his eye on George W. Bush and his misleading war on the terrorism agenda arguing. Bush failed businessman connections to the royal house of Saudi of Arabia and the Bin laden election on fraudulent circumstances was more important (Rather). Bush ignored warnings of the looming betrayal by his foreign partners when that treacherous plane hit the New York building on September 11, killing innocent people working. But yet, Bush continued to send troops over, trying to prove a point that the Americans were much stronger, but actually it made them weaken as a nation, and in the armed forces as Moore stated in the documentary that the government failed more in that day than ever before. Moore named the film “Fahrenheit” which is a title of a book named Fahrenheit 451 by an author (Ray Bradbury) in which it is a book about burning of books literally, and figuratively.
Liddy, head of CREEP (Olson). This seemed to be working for a long period of time, until the tapes and the decision to cover up the investigation was revealed by one of Nixon’s trustees (Watergate). This went to the Supreme Court where Judge Sirica directed President Nixon to let him listen to the tapes (Watergate). Nixon refused the order, and stated that a president was untouchable from judicial orders and enforcing subpoenas under the concept of executive privilege, he could only decide what decision should be made (Watergate). In the end, Nixon decided to give Judge Sirica the tapes, but afterwards more suspicions grew because he had released edited transcripts (Watergate).
stated in the First Amendment. (McElroy, 2010) T.V. companies such as Direct TV and Dish make me think of this issue. Both company with trash each other over advertisement and persuade people to dump their TV provider and go to them. Both companies are not real people so they shouldn’t have the right to say why there company is better that’s ridiculous.
In June 2012, Fox News released a tape about Obama breaking his oath to help immigration and it seemed as if he was contradicting himself and not prioritizing it. The Fox news caster stated, before the unveiling of the tape, “Let me play this for the audience so they can understand and fully grasp here the magnitude of what he did on Friday.” Fox made it clear that they wanted the audience to “fully” grasp a lie. Stuart on the “Daily Show” showed the full tape instead of only a portion of the tape like Fox, and display to his cynical audience how deceptive Fox truly is. The full tape revealed how Obama, in reality is still prioritizing and reinforcing his beliefs, unlike how Fox interpreted it. On the “Daily Show” Stuart, after broad casting the corrupted video, used a sarcastic tone and commended Fox for showing such a shocking video and even apologize for past “mistakes” of ridiculing Fox.
