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. I think that the cartoon was about the story of the boy in the sky, and that some people will do anything to be on tv, and that the media is willing to put some of the dumbest things on tv. I do agree that we should have been worried about it but we need to worry about other things too. I am not saying it wasn’t important but still, there are worse things happening all over the world

  2. The politacal cartoon is about the little boy that was said to be in a flying air craft and floated for like six hours.

    The cartton is implying how much media coverage was placed on this event. Also that the media is practically to blame for how much is was exaggerated. With all the talk shows and the media, i just think the parents wanted thier 15 minutes of fame by exploting a child.

  3. the little boy got into a fight with his parents and want to the attic. when they seen it in the air and didnt know where the little boy was, there thought he was in the air craft. not knowing for sure the media did a big story on the run away air craft. it was later to find out the boy was fine. i think the media should find out all the facts before there go and say stuff on the TV to get the rest of the world upset by bad information.
