Every time I go eat breakfast at the Cafeteria I see they have the News on: thus, I watch it, even though I don't pay much attention to it. I have been doing this all the year and I always thought to myself... well I don't really understand what's going on, but I am not really familiar with how American News shows are, so I'll just watch it. They were always showing some sort of celebrity scandal or sports controversy.

It just occurred to me today, as I was talking with some friends during lunch, that maybe it was not only my perception that the News show does not cover truly important issues. So I asked, and they said they didn't like that particular show, or news in general for that matter because they only covered shallow stories, and didn't focus on the important issues that are going on in the country.

Their comments opened my eyes, and my perception changed. I went from not caring, to believing that the News show was shallow and focused on covering celebrities and sports rather than political or any other sort of story.
