Tuesday's presentations

Both groups on Tuesday covered a part of television that I don't tend to watch. Neverless, I found both powerpoint presentations to be very interesting. I learned a lot about the different news coverage and the different reality shows on television.

Before Tuesday I had heard the name Bill O'Reilly, but I had no idea what kind of anchorman he was. I was shocked to see how he treated his guests. No matter what the guest's story was, I couldn't help but side with him because O'Reilly was being such a jerk.

I've never been a big fan of the reality tv shows, but I can't help but keep up with them because everywhere I look they are being covered in some way by the media. I was still shocked to hear about the show "The Swan." I knew they made over ordinary looking women, but I didn't know it was for them to be judged in a beauty pageant. I have to agree with what the group said about it defeating the purpose. All these ordinary women go through these extreme surgeries to be beautiful, yet some of them are still told in the end that they are not beautiful enough.

Overall, I think both presentations were very effective.
