Initial post instructions

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1:

The framers of the Constitution were concerned that everyday citizens would not be able to understand or comprehend the makings of our government. They felt that people were uninformed and did not care about what was happening in our government. Even today we see where citizens are interested in government affairs seemingly only if our country is in turmoil such as unemployment, recessions, civil unrest, etc. Do you agree with this assessment? Are we uninformed? Do we wait till a crisis happens to voice our opinions?

OR

Option 2:

Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of “mainstream” outlets like CBS, NBC, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue? Do you see the news as biased or unbiased? Should there be more restrictions on the news stations? (Please note: for the purposes of this class FoxNews and MSNBC are no-longer legitimate news sources, currently they only operate as propaganda.)

To help you with Option 2, I’ve included this Media Bias Chart. To get more information about it, click here: https://www.adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ Links to an external site.
