1. Students began today with a reminder they have a written and online portion to their exam on Wednesday and Thursday.
2. Before watching the video, we talked about the concept of it, that one member of the group made a comment against President Bush and suffered serious consequences from that, both personally and professionally. They were banned from corporate radio stations who were politically allied with the Bush administration and Republican ideology.Last week, a big debate was sparked after an on-air argument between Rosie O’donnell, a person who is anti-Bush and would like to see the President impeached, and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, a pro-Bush supporter and staunch Republican follower. The argument got so out of hand that producers of the show made the decision Not to go to commercial, costing them the loss of that advertising money, and they eventually even went so far as to split the screen to show each woman as they argued with the other, making for great ratings and great captivating television. We have talked about who owns the media, certain people having a centralized control over what is allowed in media, both in Canada and the United States. Rosie has since announced she will not return to the show. Do you think she made that decision on her own or do you think it was made for her? What are your thoughts?You watched this clip from the view, before watching the documentary, because we have talked about freedom of speech, in the media through newspapers, radio, tv, etc. Are we really free to say what we want? Is everyone equally free?

Watch the clip below ….
