News commentators have really changed since over the years. Instead of giving the viewer the news, commentators are putting their opinions behind the news.

Two main-stream commentators that are doing this are Bill O'Reilly (pictured to the left) and Larry King.

Bill O'Reilly is the host of the show "the O'Reilly Factor". It airs on fox news. Fox news is said to fair but everyone knows that they favor republicans. Bill O'Reilly just adds fuel to the fire. A lot more fuel. He is a republican who just bashes everything that the democrats say and do. He really was critical to Obama during the 2008 elections. The guest O'Reilly has on his show are usually other host of shows or political peopl

e that can fight over issues that really do not matter. Why people watch

this crap I don't know. It isn't news it is grown men fighting like little girls about big men stuff. If you real news you are better off going out yourself and finding it.

Another commentator on tv is the legendary Larry King. The man who was around probably when Jesus was born. Anyway, Larry King Live is the most watched showed on CNN. King interviews people from athletes, politicians, celebrities. Anyone who is famous might be on Larry King. I actually think the show is pretty cool. Larry King has an unique way of conducting interviews that makes the listener feel like that the interviewee is in the same room as them. I think if I had to watch one of these commentators everyday I would probably Larry King.

Overall, news stations are losing their main point. That is news!!!!! Why can't people just get the news and not have someones opinion behind it.

The following just shows how much real news CNN shows in an hour. http://tvnewslies.org/html/cnn___contains_no_news.html

We do not need anymore TV news commentators!!!!

Reality TV SUCKS!

I am the kind of person who could care less about what is on MTV. Ever since the station has gone away from their main adjective (playing music videos) I have not be a fan of the station.

The shows that are on MTV are just ridiculous. The one show "Jersey Shore" is just about low life people who are just trying to get their next fix on steroids or get their next shot at the club. The men on the show are around the age of 30 and should have families of their own by now but no they're too immature for any of that. Instead of having to feed a kid they would so much rather do steroids and hit on girls who are not even the legal age yet. I guess I am weird though because this is what is selling and people are watching it.

Reality TV is affecting the way young people think and more importantly it is affecting the way they act.

The rate of teen pregnancy is going up and reality TV might be a cause of that. When TV shows are about teens that are pregnant that definitely sends out the wrong messages. A girl might see the show and be like well I can get on TV if I become pregnant.

Young girls are watching these girls on these shows and see them wearing really trashy clothes, and are all over every guy they can find. Is that what I want my daughter to be like? NO! These girls on these shows are not even that hott not to mention that their IQ is probably negative 2. When a girl's nickname is "Snookie", I am sorry but I have intentions on talking to you. I want a girl that is real and not fake like the ones on TV. Girls should not be watching these shows and it is sad that our society is the way that it is. We need to control what comes on television a little better but who are we to say what goes; if it sell then hey hell with it.

Local Newspapers

The Dundalk Eagle is a unique newspaper. The paper is to target the community as a whole. This makes the reader feel more involved and interested in the stories the paper offers. The stories that are being written are about local events and news that are happening that people might want to know about.

With the rate of papers declining this fast, papers need to find ways to keep their readers.

With the sales of newspapers declining, people want something that they feel apart of. That is why I think local papers are cool, and needed.

The Dundalk Eagle's audience ranges from kids all the way to the elderly. Every one who reads the “Eagle” can find something that they can enjoy. If it is from the Police Beat or High School Sports, the Dundalk Eagle has something to offer for every individual in the community.

I think the writers do not show so much bias in their writing. I believe they write about the news and do not show much opinion at all. I think they are just giving the readers what happened and it is up to the reader to make his/her own opinion.

The paper does a great job getting the issues out there. They are only a weekly paper. I think this is a good thing because the demand for it stays high. The cost is cheap as well, only 25 cents an issue. I believe that local newspapers will survive longer then more global newspapers. The Eagle is also on the web. They are adapting to the technological world so that people can read them on the Internet.

The following is the Dundalk Eagle’s Internet site. http://dundalkeagle.com/

The Dundalk Eagle offers something that most other newspapers cannot and that is making the reader feel connected. That is why I believe the Dundalk Eagle will be around for a while.
