Entry #3 Hidden Facts

News networks are one of the most watched channels in the United Stats; However, they are seen as the most reliable place to get information on current events, but often they will lie to their viewers. thousands of people tune into news networks like Fox news or CNN every day to find out what is going on in the world today. these networks promise to give its viewers the truth about the world, but they will hide information, manipulate, and completely change the truth.

Fox news receives around 2.8 million on average total viewers every day, and other news channels get around the same. The networks thrive on the on their viewership, and they will do pretty much anything to keep people coming back and watching. There have been few cases where they will lie, and hide information from prying eyes of the public to serve their agenda. an example would have to be a when then the election for president was going on, CNN would try to keep any negative topics or facts about Hillary from getting out. They would also give negative information on Trump; however, Fox news did the same for Trump. Another example would have to be when they lie about the weather.

I believe there are at least two different ways this issue could be fixed. One would have the networks to stop hiding all the information, but this option is least likely to happen. Due to how much money the networks make off their current strategy. The second option is the views need to do the research themselves; however, this might be the harder option due to how lazy our society has become. Another option is to have a network that has an unbiased option, and only willing to show the facts.

Entry #2: Review of Joker

Review of Joker

Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips. The film is based on a DC comics mainstay known as Joker. This film stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, giving him origin story set in 1981, the film follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City. The film became the highest grossing R-rated film over the past week surpassing the dead pool films. Even though critics are not a big fan of it and even with all the bashing it was getting from news networks it still got good reviews from the audience. The Joker movie has been getting a lot of attention since it was announced, so I thought this could use my opinion since I have been watching movies my whole life. The Joker movie was a  dark and a compelling origin story of a man's painful journey to self destruction. This type of story telling goes along with the comic called the "Killing Joke" with the message of one bad day can ruin a man. When I watch the film I did feel bad for Arthur in the beginning; however, thought the film as you see him go down the rabbit hole you kinda see why and how he ended up like this.(Spoiler Alert) As you watch and start to question why did all of this happen like of did a crazy women adopt a child, and why didn't Thomas Wayne get Arthur's mother put away and get Arthur back into the orphanage. Thought the film I did feel unconformable, but i'm sure that was the feel this film was going for, to give the audience an uneasy feeling. However the film was entertaining definitely not for the faint of the heart. I would say if you get the chance go and give it a watch, but don't go out of your way to give it a see.

Entry #1: Influence of Blogs

Influence of Blogs

What is a blog; a blog is a regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group, that is written in an informal or conversational style. Blogs are often used to spread ones opinion about topics that they are interested in; it lets the readers, and writers finally be the critic that want people to be. An example could be looking for a vacation spot for the year. The proprietor will give you information, but they are trying to sell the vacation spot to you. A blog could revival the same information and their experience in an un-biased manner. 

Everyone has an opinion about something, so here is mine about blogs. Blogs have a unique ability to reach people to unlimited ends of the world; both for a positive and negative purpose in today's modern social world. Many people can get a taste of other's opinions,or experiences. Some of the positives about blogs can revile information about places before you even visit them. The biggest negative about the blogs are people may not get the same experience if they just went in blind. Another negative are bloggers trying to push an their agenda and spread false information which happens to often, but can't be helped.

A blog called "Pinch of Yum" is a food blog that displays recipes for healthy and delicious foods. Their site is easy to access, and all the recipes are well detailed, easy to find, and most importantly really tasty. Another blog that I believe is one worth looking at is "Screen Rant". They are company blogger, they have many writers that work for them. Some work really hard on their projects, and others are only there for a pay check, but you will usually find a great gem to read with some fun facts. The last blog that I will talk about will be "A Beautiful Mess" a women's lifestyle company focused on creating happiness every day through a homemade lifestyle. On the blog, two sisters share home decor projects, recipes, crafts, and style, as well as bits of our lives.
