"Real" News and "Meaningless" News

When watching the news there is always the stories that are real serious issues. And then there are those stories that are not really important and are just really entertaining. When watching the ABC News, there were "real" news stories and then there was "meaningless" stories.

One of the "real" stories were about how terrorists had gotten into the U.S. and the issue was that they were trained in bombs. The scare and realness was that this showed that our background checks are not always taken serious and fully checked. The terrorists got in because they looked like refugees. This will give people fear, like we talked about earlier in the semester. News make fear.

One of the "meaningless" stores were about Kennedy's plane. The story was very interesting but it wasn't an issue that would strike fear into viewers. The story was about the plane that flew the Kennedys and also flew JFK's body.
