Fahrenheit 9/11

Some of the facts from the movie, Fahrenheit 9/11 were unbelievable. I would not have believed it if I didn’t see it with my own eyes. Some of the things that happened changed my view of certain people. For example, initially everyone thought Al Gore won the state of Florida. Many news station such as: NBC, CNN, and ABC believed that Al Gore won Florida. However, the news station known as Fox News believed that George W. Bush won Florida. Once Fox News announced that all information, the other news station followed.

The man who was running Fox news station at that time had a close relationship with George W. Bush. He could determine what he wanted to be said on the news station. Technically, he determined the outcome of the election. No one actually knows who won the presidential election of 2000. I have a problem with the fact that the other news stations followed what Fox news said.

Even though Fox is a major news station the other news stations should not have gone along with what they said. A major news station that could have been followed would be ABC News. In my opinion, the most accurate political news station would be CNN. Ninety-five percent of the segments that are shown on CNN are political. CNN rarely reports on anything that has to do with something other then politics.
