I really like this article because number 1 it is a great example of how to show an unbiased opinion. They use a lot of quotes from Obama rather than putting his own opinions in the piece. Also it is a bit ironic because Obama is bashing the media while this writer is in the media. But that is irrelevant. I think that this topic is very interesting because it is true. In my experience my friends know more about Snooki's upcoming pregnancy rather than the 2012 upcoming election. When the media encourages this type of information, there are problems. I think that we have a responsibility to finding out about this amid the muck of scandal, but the media also has a responsibility to us. They need to tell us the truth about important, relevant topics that need coverage.
