Wrap Up October 13-October 19

Warap Up October 13- October 19 11:00 p.m.

Although this week’s stories were not quite as Pro-Obama as last week, Obama was still framed in a more positive light than McCain. References were made to his victorious performance at the final debate, and in a top story discussing Obama’s attack on John McCain in regards to Medicare it is stated that McCain has no “immediate” response to Obama’s proposal.

Many of the issues presented were framed to express that neither candidate was completely right on a few issues. The articles stated that education had hardly been discussed this election, and another said that the promise of tax cuts by both candidates may be stopped by the harsh reality of swelling national debt.

While home on Fall break and attending a conference, I spoke to many individuals about the upcoming election. A common discussion was whether or not to EVEN VOTE. Many people are so discouraged by both candidates that they don’t feel comfortable making a selection. I visited the mall, where the harsh reality of the economic crisis was obvious in the clearance sales of stores going out of business.

Top Issues of the week:
1. Debate
2. Plumber Joe
3. Taxes
4. Healthcare
5. Education
