1B: The presidential debate gave a prime-time stage to long shots, in which they wouldn't be overshadowed by Donald Trump. Trump, as a billionaire businessman has been taking the lead as a candidate, and is backed by his major wealth. His stance is so unorthodox, people are arguing, trying to shake him rather than talk about the country.
2: The CIA director came to UT yesterday to release 2.5k daily briefs given to John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson. A larger trend of openness in the government led to the release of these documents. The CIA has now made the documents available on its website. "The collection of the President’s Daily Briefs detail the most crucial security concerns of a nearly eight-year span in the 1960s."
3. Human rights groups were outraged when Hungarian security unleashed water cannons and tear gas on the asylum-seekers. Greek authorities also report that refugees are walking, sailing, and all sorts to come in. With the erection of a razor-wire fence at Hungary, refugees also seek treks through cornfields to Croatia, where landmines dot the landscape.
4. A Muslim boy was detained from bringing a home-made clock to school to show his Engineering teacher, because it was on sight, determined to be bomb-like. School officials searched him, and defended themselves by saying it looked "suspicious in nature", and that things like that shouldn't be brought to school. President Obama tweeted that he stands with Ahmed, and gained more than half-a-million tweets afterward with similar responses. 'This spring, the Irving City Council endorsed one of several bills under discussion in the Texas Legislature that would forbid judges from rulings based on “foreign laws”' This is brought to discussion as if building a bomb would be the reaction of foreigners to the establishment.
ESSAY QUESTION:
I learned of this story first in this class. Social media coverage is likely to be more biased than the traditional newspaper. There may be more people commenting on it, but the paper makes all the effort to get the facts correct, and merely tell what happened, instead of inciting the chaos that is the internet. If I were the managing editor of this story, it would likely be near the front, but nearer to the front. Racial/religion discrimination is nothing new, however it is a story of a young creator whom has been taken to custody for the edginess of our country. It's a story of the police corruptness, questioning a child without his parents, and being treated inhumanely for his harmless creation.
1B. But they talked about Trump even though he was not yet on stage.
ReplyDelete4. They also turned him over to police.
This is a good response. Please don't cut and paste or excessively quote the newspaper. It is better to express the content of the articles in your own words.
