After 7+ days of hovering and watching the news and reading the newspaper I heard about a lot of good and bad news. First, a deli worker was killed by a robber in Queens 11 years after his brother was also killed. Also, there was a 7.7 Magnitude earthquake in Indonesia that triggered a volcanic eruption and a tsunami. The last important new that I've been watching is the Senate and House elections next week and how the Democrats could lose the majority in one of or both of the Congressional houses. To go with that, the Governor race in New York has gotten interesting due to Jimmy Mclillan of the Rent is Too Damn High Party and Carl Paladino's remarks on Gay Marriage in the U.S.
From this experience I learned a lot of things. First, I learned how many different things happen each day in NYC and in the world. How crazy this world may be. Also, how without the media it would be much harder for us to hear very important news in the blink of an eye. Lastly, I learned about how biased opinions can be in the media and that you want to listen to all of the media's people opinions.
