Movie Response

I thought that the movie we watched in class was very interesting and revealed an aspect of the media that I am positive exists, but we rarely ever address it. It was enlightening to see Janine stand up for what she felt was right, and struggle with delivering news that may not have been completely true. Many times we see news casters or writings just regurgitate the information given to them, but I think that heart behind the matter, in either a positive or negative direction, in a crucial missing piece. We are so concerned with being politically correct, and remaining unbiased, that we lack the emotional and moral dignity that should back up our personal actions. This idea is relevant to our class because we are beginning a blog that people will read, and whether it is just the small amount of students in our class, or countless people who access social networking, our ideas are entering the minds of others. We have a responsibility, just like Janine did, to make sure those ideas are not only true, but also a testimony to how we feel, and what we believe. If we conceal what we believe to be true, we could miss out a breakthrough message.
