Election
Tuesday was Election Day. We all got the opportunity to vote and put in our two cents as to who we want for the leader of our country. As I was watching the results Tuesday night, I kept switching channels to see what different channels were saying about the results. I thought it was so interesting how different channels broadcasted different results of the same information. Depending on what side the channel was leaning more towards, they would portray the results to favor one candidate over another. It made me think how unreliable some media can be. Depending on the source, sometimes you can't trust what is being said or their interpretation may be biased or skewed one way or another. This applies not only in politics in the media but really everything. We have to make sure we are informed of what media we are watching so we can understand an interpret it correctly!

We did the same thing, and my husband got sick of CNN after awhile, and said, "let's see what they are saying on Fox!" And it was definitely a different point of view!
