Response to Aarons News Blog

I decided on this blog because it is the most agreeable with me. Thats actually the reason I choose all my peer responses. I actually do the same thing I usually watch the news daily mostly for just to get a little info about whats happening in the world and also to find out the weather for the day so i can decide what to wear. However the news show that I most enjoy and get most of my current affairs knowledge from is the Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I have been watching these shows since they first aired. These shows take all of the stories that I am interested in and discusses them while poking fun. Although most people would not consider it a real news show, I believe that it does keep you updated on the important stuff while being very entertaining. They leave out the minor stories like the guy hit by a drunk driver or other things like that.

This idea I have ties into what Aaron says about news today. Because of technology alot of people are getting spoiled. They can record the news on their Tivo or DVR and then watch it later and just fast forward the stories they don't care about. They can also log on to the internet where most internet providers have a news reel on their home page that has all of the current events and stories listed and you can click on one to read about it and most the time watch a short news broadcast on it. So this is similar to what I do by watching the Daily Show and Colbert Report. Just instead of selecting the stories I want to watch, I take the spoilednesss one step further and let the writers of the shows decied what stories I should watch.
