Chapter 6 Q.2
I took a look at a daily herald and the clear majority was light hearted events and entertainment, with perhaps 20% hard news. Local Bakery sales, A canning supply shortage, and then the waiting list for donor organs reaching a huge amount. But, I was glad to read an article about someone going against the church and the author not showing much bias, simply displaying the facts and letting others comment on what was written. The comments were very biased and clearly anti-mormon, but the actual editors seemed to be decent "muckrakers", but without the muck and more just a laying down of new dirt that the audience could decide what to use it for. I used the website as well, just to make mention, which is why was able to read feedback as well as add my own. I see more of the really objective writing in weeklies, but mostly in independent books on single political or economical people. Articles are of course written if something big did happens, but nothing revolutionary or against them. This I am thankful for, some things are better left unsaid, this reason for one is why we as a nation were so much more together in the past then we are now. Everyone is just out to find flaws in our leadership. Cast the first stone right? What I saw was good amount of information and entertainment in The Daily Herald, and perhaps most somewhat local newspapers.
