Ok, so I know that the bombing at the Boston Marathon was a very big tragedy and stuff, but I think that the news has been a little too crazy about it. I do understand that many people were hurt and it was very scary and a threat to many people's safety, but there was too much. All last week from like Wednesday to Saturday all they were showing on abc and nbc was all about the bombing. I was getting kind of upset because right now I am hooked on a lot of reality shows, but I record them since I don't have enough time to watch them all. So, since last Thursday and Friday we didn't have school I was going to catch up on all of my reality shows I was watching like Dance Moms, Revolution, the Voice......and many more shows(that are really good by the way..). So I went on my cable box to start watching the recordings and all of my recordings weren't of my shows, but of the special news reports like Rock Center and stuff. Every single one of my shows was not aired because they were having all these last minute special news reports on the Boston bombing. Therefore I was kind of upset that they were having all these special news reports on the bombing. Having all these reports has also taught me one thing that I've learned about the news. The news sometimes over exaggerates a lot of things. Like have you ever seen those mini commercials telling you that you should watch the news at 10 because there may be something harmful in your water that could kill you, well in my opinion if the water is gonna kill you shouldn't you tell us now and not wait until 10 when many people will be dead already, otherwise if it can wait then it must not be that dramatic that it could kill you. That is just my opinion on the news other people may have different opinions, but that's what I think.Ending this on a lighter note I'm praying for all those injured people who were affected by the Boston bombing and I hope they all recover well.
