So, apparently Guantanamo Bay inmates may be placed in normal prisons around the nation. It would appear that the proposition that was opposed by Congress may in fact come to volition.

I think this article fits the conservative audience well. This is something that many conservatives would oppose, i would assume. The article revolves around Feinstein, who is not exactly Miss Popular in conservative eyes. The lede is one extremely long, run on sentence that goes forever without ever taking a break or using a comma or anything like that. I think it could be shortened, but i’m sure for the sake of writing more, more was used. I’ve also noticed the author of the article has been writing pieces about democrats lately; which is kind of interesting.

Kim Jung Un: Sexiest Man Alive 2012

This article cracks me up. I’ve taken a different approach, away from the political banter or middle east hoopla. This is an article reporting how China has once again fallen for satire in US news. Kim Jung Un, successor to Kim Jung Il, has been named The Onion’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2012, and it was reported as news in Chinese press.

This piece is nothing special, just a synopsis of the story. There’s no picture with it which takes away from the comical effect. I think a picture would make the article to be quite honest. I think considering all of the campaign ads making China the antagonist of America, this article pokes fun at our biggest competitor. This article isn’t newsworthy in the real sense of “news,” but I would assume it’s intention is to be a humorous little break from the serious issues on FoxNews.com

3.5/5 in my book.

This article covers the story about rocket attacks and fighting in Israel between Israelis and Hamas.

Unless you’re very keene on foreign affairs, foreign policy, or anything that goes on in the Middle East, this article IS NOT for you.

I think this is a very poor choice for a headline story. Unless this is meant to be a shot at Obama and foreign policy, it’s irrelevant.

The headline picture on the homepage shows a women screaming with another woman trying to calm her down. It doesn’t purvey the terror I was expecting so perhaps thats why I’m not looking at this article with very much concern.

I’m assuming this is the same aggressive contact on gaza strip that has been happening for the past couple years. Maybe we should send troops there!

This is Cassie Burnside reading my story about the Black Mamba, and research being done with its venom.

I’ll continue my trend in politics with this article.

FoxNews.com Article

According to this article, Hillary Clinton knew about the weaknesses of the embassy at Benghazi one month before the attack took place. I expect this from Fox News. Even though the attack took place a month and a half ago, they’re still coming out with new information. This concerns me. One, because I’m not seeing anything about this on CNN, MSNBC, or NBC. Two, it seems this is being down played because of the election. This article seems to imply a cover-up.

They use a few quotes from the State Department, but nothing of substance. The picture doesn’t really relate to the article. I think they should have used a picture of Hillary, or another higher-up.

This is a relevant story to the American public, but more specifically, relevant to conservatives. Overall, I’m not very impressed. The only positive I would take away is that they’re doing follow up on a very controversial issue, which is good.

Shooting by Jordan Jacupke

A local bride is in the hospital just hours after taking her vows, suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

It is alleged that shortly after the wedding at 617 S. Jackson street yesterday, the bride, Laurette Brunson, threw a bowl of macaroni salad at her new ‘hubby’, Richard Brunson, and he decided to fight food with a .22 caliber handgun; a seemingly unfair advantage.

Thirty relatives and friends at the couple’s home attended the ceremony, which began around 2PM, sources say. Around 5PM an argument broke out, leaving macaroni everywhere, and the bride on the floor, all shot’n stuff. We were able to speak briefly with Walter Corse, a neighbor of the Brunson’s.

Neighbors notified the authorities immediately. When the police arrived, Mr. Brunson was nowhere to be found. His whereabouts are still unknown.

Mrs. Brunson, however, is resting comfortably at St. Luke’s hospital, where hospital officials say she is in satisfactory condition.

So if you’re out there Mr. Brunson, you can finish the job at St. Lukes. 2720 Stonepark Blvd. Open Monday-Sunday, 24 hours.
