The Locator

Has anyone checked out "The Locator"? It is a realty show, but not one where you have to do things that may embarrass you. Mr. Dunn helps people find there missing family(ies). Last nights episode was about a woman who wanted to find her mother. It was quite sad, because her mother didn't want anything to do with her or her brother. She even wrote a letter to them stating that the only regret in her life was meeting there father. However, the second part was so cool. He found the missing sister of five. They finally were are reunited with each other as well as there mother who was found to be incompetent of taking care of them. However, they all forgave her and truly loved each other as well as there mom. Mom was the only common link between them, they had five different fathers.

Faulk

I find it truly amazing that an estate can be substituted for the defendant. I am at ah and wonder how that can possibly work. How do they put someone on the bench to testify? It just doesn't make sense to me. Possibly there could have been written documentation that was substituted for the actual testimony.

Why the negativity?

I think people started looking at television in a negative way, because they didn't know who or what information they could trust. Such as the game shows who were cheating there way through to make people excited about the prospect of the game and maybe even becoming a contestant. Then others who were said to be communist running away until the Faulk case was settled. Then they dared to show their faces again, how sad they had to go through that kind of event. Another negative aspect was the attack on Cuba that the U.S. was trying to persuade people they were not part of. After being affected by these crooked events, how did they know what they could or could not trust?

Media Watch

I find that the media watches posted by classmates as well as Ms. Grant to be intriguing. Everyone has a chance to find a topic that interest them and look for feedback that may differ from there original opinions. I wonder how many of us have walked away with a different perspective on a subject than when we went into it. I know I find reading everyone's opinion and thinking about what they have said to be a very valuable lesson.

Bay of Pigs

The Bay of Pigs played an important role in the history of the US Government as well as television. The way reports and the public were manipulated into believing just what the government wanted was astounding. It makes me nervous about how much is being hidden from us now. Providing us with just what they want us to know and nothing else. How much of it is real and how much are lies?

Interesting Tidbits

I found it to be quite interesting the different views on the Nixon/Kennedy debate. While I feel personal appearances are great so that you can read there body language others feel that the content is what really matters. However, I feel that the content has been drilled into there heads. I wonder how much prep goes into possible questions and answers.

Week 6 Already

I am so amazed at the turn of events leading up to this point. I can say without hesitation that I continue to learn something new each week. Week 6 is almost over, where has the time gone? I am a new fan of You Tube. I am finding it useful for watching old favorites, as well as watching a video on installing laminate flooring.

Amos n' Andy

My favorite part from last week was viewing the Amos n' Andy clips. I found them to be entertaining. I Love Lucy has always been a favorite of mine. However, my family doesn't seem to enjoy it much. I am happy that You Tube carry's many of the old time favorites. Now I can enjoy them whenever I want.
