ABC News

In class we watched the ABC news, on of the stories that would be considered "real" news was when they talked about trained terrorist sneaking into the U.S as refuges. It talked about how they had already killed American soldiers and how the system had failed by letting them into the U.S. The government put a 6 month suspension on the refugee program in order to make sure no more mistakes were made and they also hammered down on better background checks. This news would be something real because it could affect many people and holds as a serious threat to thousands of people because they can't determine how many terrorists entered the U.S and also there were two that moved into a nice neighbourhood and nobody knew that they were such a danger.

The story that could be as "meaningless" news was when they talked about John F Kennedy's plane. Although he was a very important man and someone who will be remembered for years, the story was very much pointless. They were showing you the plane and talking about what happened on the day that he got killed. The reporter was getting a tour around the plane and spoke about how the crew on board refused to put his dead body down in the cargo hold and how after that day, 7 other presidents used the plane. This could be seen as meaningless news because its something that occurred years ago and doesn't really affect anyone. Also there have been many programs on TV that would let people know such information, as well as many presidents after him.
