Well I didn't really like either of these stories because I thought they were kind of dull. The first Story had a lot to with the media's portrayal of the social/economic status of people through out America. I like how the author made the point of how the media is owned by the super rich who merge and become even more monopolized. The author went on to say how the rich are looked to as a form of God because the main stream media ultimately work for those people, just like the rest of us. I also like how the author told of how the media portrays the homeless as deserving of our sympathy only during holidays or when distaster strikes.
The next stories speaks of how we are unconsciously being subjected to ads which objectify women and children as being sex objects. To be honest this just makes me sick. I believe this type of advertisement will continue as long as people continue to soak in front of the T.V. and follow whatever the media is telling them. Really towards the end of this story I found myself tired with all the thoughts of the negativity towards women. I noticed alot of this does start in school which makes me want to become a school teacher and then I remember it doesn't pay enough.
Oh ya and I am not going to call Obama my President anymore until he provides his birth certificate...just thought I'd throw that in their.
