Entry #2 Week of 8/31

Our assignment for this week was to go online and read the English version of Al-Jazeera, the Middle Eastern news source, The Guardian, the British and European news source, and one US news source, for which I have chosen CNN. We also had to compare each of these sources' coverage, and see if any are more biased than the others.They all seem to have a majority of their coverage based on regional news, but they do have news coverage of major events across the globe. They all try to cover as much of the big global news as possible, but have mostly the news for the area they are from. They do have some of the similar stories, but only the major stories.

About Me

I am Kurren Bhalla, sophomore at UTSA. I'm 19 years old, from Katy, TX and I graduated from James E. Taylor High School in 2008. I am originally from Michigan: I was born there and lived there for the better part of 12 years. I am a big sports nut, I love playing and watching pretty much every sport. My sports loyalties are still tied to my teams in Detroit, I can't give up on my hometown teams. I enjoy reading once in a while, playing video games, watching movies, listening to music, and learning new things everyday. I love rap and hip hop music, and one of my favorite songs of all time is The Next Episode by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, heres a link to the song: The Next Episode. One of my favorite novels is All The Kings Men, and one of my favorite movies is The Godfather. I don't really have a quirky nature, I can be weird at times but nothing out of the ordinary.
