    This video is an example of "broadcasting." This has less of personal opinions and it is more factual. This means that it appeals to a wider audience (which is the definition for it.) This CNN video shows the second plane hitting the WTC in New York during 9/11. This is something that most people will listen. Why? Because it is factual rather than bias. I think that current events fall more in the broadcasting rather than the narrowcasting. The aftermath of these could fall into narrowcasting. An example of this is the previous video I posted on Obama and Islam. Please comment if you have any other thoughts on this.

  • He went on to argue, however, that, despite this, he could not stay silent while Iran remained a threat to his country. He believes the agreement as currently formulated will still allow Iran to be a formidable nuclear power. 
  • John BoehnerThe Speaker of the House was the person who invited Netanyahu to speak to Congress in the first place. 
  • President Obama asked Congress to put off these plans during his 2015 State of the Union, to ensure that Iran's interest in the negotiations does not evaporate.

  • The Obama administration, besides being miffed that Republican lawmakers invited a foreign leader without asking permission, is also trying to refute the arguments Netanyahu has been making against the nuclear negotiations.
  • Representative Steve Cohen told the New York Times, “I stand with Israel, always have stood with Israel, and always will, but this speech is not about Israel. Netanyahu is not Israel just like George W. Bush wasn’t America.”
  • Kerry really wants these talks to work out, especially since his diplomatic forays in Israel and Syria have not worked as well. 
  • Kerry also made an effort to show he was very much aware of what Obama administration opponents were saying about his schedule during a speech to the U.N. Human Rights Council on Monday, According to the Associated Press, Kerry urged the organization "to end what the United States says is its unfair and biased focus on the Jewish State."

    Morry Gash/Associated Press News about Scott Walker (Wisconsin Gubernatorial Recall Vote), including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. Show More There are no additional abstracts to display. The governor of Wisconsin has filtered out his regional accent, cut down rambling in speeches and started dressing to please on visits to states like New Hampshire.

    This time line shows in detail about the events from the beginning to the end. One thing I noticed is about the after effect since unions tried to get rid of Walker and had to use a lot of time and money on it and didn't even succeed.

    I like the timeline, it shows how much effort was put in on both sides of the election. It is very unfortunate that the money spent in favor of Barrett was wasted as well as the time but it for the recall. Obviously it was a good decision by Wisconsin voters to not recall Walker because he ended up being very great governor to boost the economy.

    I agree with kyrranielson on the topic of the money being spent for naught, but Although Walker is doing well, there is the off chance Barrett would have been better

Dangerous Passage and Multiplying Fines as Ice Is Left Uncleared - NYTimes.com - 0 views

NY ice danger

shared by natedurrett on 04 Mar 15 - No Cached
  • William Sullivan, 56, shuffled forward a foot at a time, feeling around for soft spots as he tried to avoid the slick areas that would take him down. He made it, that time. His 84-year-old neighbor was not so lucky; he fell last month going to the corner bodega for coffee, and he still has back pain.
  • In the city, where walking is a way of life, keeping sidewalks clear in the winter is not merely a neighborly courtesy, it is also required under the law.
  • The Sanitation Department has issued more than 10,000 tickets this winter and more than 42,000 tickets since 2010, according to a New York Times analysis of city data. In total, those tickets carried fines of nearly $8.5 million (excluding a small percentage of tickets that were successfully challenged), of which just $2.6 million has been paid so far.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Some residents say the tickets have made little, if any, difference, in their neighborhoods. For instance, city sanitation supervisors and enforcement agents have repeatedly come by the houses at 896 and 892 East 167th Street, affixing a total of 64 tickets to the chain-link fence and wood partitions in front since 2010. Still, the ice remains.
  • A bulk of the issue is that in vacant buildings it can be difficult to determine who the owner is, who is responsible for maintenance, or to compel payment.
  • “Everybody complains about it in the neighborhood, but nothing gets done,” said Mr. Sullivan, a cook and single father of eight. “I really get mad because children and the elderly have to pass here every day. It’s dangerous, and it has to be cleaned up.”
  • Keith Mellis, a spokesman for the Sanitation Department, emphasized that this snow and ice removal was “the sole responsibility” of private property owners.

    This is a more local topic, but it raises an interesting question. If the lot is owned but foreclosed/vacant, whose responsibility is it to maintain the property so it isn't a public hazard?
