The first section of the reading helped me understand some view points of the news and how they present a news story. The news may be sharing news stories but they are sharing them in they way that the news companies want you to see them. It informed me on the role of an anchorman and how he influences the news. The anchorman's job is not only to present the news story but he is there to act as if the the problems are under control. I feel as if this is acceptable as long as the news isn't being changed or misleading. The second article in the reading explains the concepts of commercials. It says how they are needed by the TV channals to fund their opperations but explains how they are unpopular in the eyes of the viewer.
One segment of news that i find ridiculous is the new about the leprechaun in a tree. At fist i could not tell if this was fake but this was actually shown on a news channal. Its quite ridiculous and at the same time hilarious.
