Journalism as a Public Forum

Some people can be crazy!! There are such extremes when it comes to this kind of stuff. For example to the extreme left we have Michael Moore, and to the extreme right we have Glenn Beck. These two men get people riled up. People listen and learn and normally end up very heated. Beck's personal website allows people to go and see his point of views. You are able to listen or read what he has to say. Here is a clip from Michael Moore's newer video. You can see how even though they are both journalist they are completely different. Journalism is a public forum I think is a good thing. It gets information out there, it allows people to hear things. It is a great example of freedom of speech and it is an excellent way to get people to be involved in good debates.
