    I think this is an event that is hard to prepare for and no one can anticipate. The shooting could have been much worse, and luckily he was stopped before he did any harm to civilians and large numbers of people. I generally feel very safe in an airport, even after hearing things like this, because I know security is highly trained and knows what they're doing.

    I thought the article was very interesting and made me think about my opinion on bias in journalism. It brought up many valid points on each side, but in the end I found myself leaning towards bias in reporting. While I do not think that articles should be only opinion, I think it is fine to include one's opinion and views. I really liked the quote from Greenwald in defense of writing with opinion. "Hiding one's views gives a reporter more latitude to manipulate their reporting because the reader is unaware of those hidden views and thus unable to take them into account." This made me rethink what I originally viewed as the correct way to be a journalist. Bias, if regulated and controlled, can add so much more to a story. It can make readers have a different mindset about the story or topic, and I think that is an important thing when informing people of important events or topics.
