Go to this website, and look at the political cartoon. What is the catroon about? Is there a certain event the cartoonist is reffering to? What is he implying about the cable news media? Do you agree or disagree

  1. this pic shows that they news industry can sometimes get to far out of hand. In my opinion, i belive this is true. people over exagerate such small events and try and make them headline news. They nedd to makethe storys more factual to what happened/happening and quit wasteing their time on just one story.

  2. The Poilical cartoon is about the media stun that the family cause to get attion. They said a boy was in a balloon and the media was all over the story and it made antional headlines and when it landed there was no boy in it. So they started questioning the family and figured out that it was a sunt. This just proves that anybody will do anything to get noticed or attion and the media will believe anything

  3. Haha, very humorous. The political cartoon is referring to the event of the balloon and the little boy supposedly being "trapped" inside it, and how the news people and everyone took it way out of proporion. I completely agree with it saying "It doesn't take much for us to get carried awaaaay!" that's most deffinetly correct.
