Citizen Journalism has become the new way for people to access Media, which can be both positive and negative depending on where you access your information from. We talked about this concept in one of my other classes, Contemporary Media, and one point that kept being brought up was whether or not the information we access is truthful or magnified to make a persons point more visible.
We watched this video clip which is part of the show Crossfire on CNN, in which two men debate different media from their different views, Liberal and Conservative. In this clip, John Stewart is the guest, and he is criticizing the two broadcasters for giving the people bad information, citing that their show is where people gain their information. As as a result they are doing a disservice to Americans who watch their show regularly and of this interview as well as other issues, the two broadcasters were fired.

Damn they were fired that stinks. They are giving the information they are told to read so you can't blame them, or maybe they do pick it. Even though I am not a follower like many other college students of John Stewart he is completely correct. I don't watch new shows anymore because they are all bias left or right and I am the creme in the middle of the oreo.
