On February 24, 2017, Politico posted an article titled "White House goes to war with the media" by Matthew Nussbaum and Nolan McCaskill. The intended audience is the average American that doesn not quite know what goes on everyday with what President Trump states on his twitter page. Both of the author's have political experience while one words for the white house and the other is just a news reporter for Politico. Their argument is that the "fake news" Trump claims is not in fact fake. The stance they take seems a little sarcastic as they sort of mock Trump and white house. The message behind the article was that Trump really jumps to conclusions without having any real knowledge on the subjects he speaks about on his social media accounts and in real life. The evidence they use are just quotes from the president himself and those coming out of the white house.
I personally believe that the president is not making up the things he talks about on social media. CNN is a very biased media source. I relate PETA to CNN as they take stories and twist them up with very little facts to make the story more interesting. I'm not a big fan of Trump, but at least he has the power to do what he wants since he's not biased to any party. He doesn't have to listen to them because he is his own brand and won without either party's help. The man shouldn't be on twitter ranting and raving about things like this, but at least he's telling the world how he really feels. No president before seemed to have any courage when it meant standing up to the media sources like Trump does.

Taps
On February 7th, 2016, TIME Magazine, time.com posted a story with the title "A True American Hero..." written by Melissa Chan, about 84 year old Guy Taylor's death. Taylor, for the past 5 years, played "Taps" on his trumpet at dusk in honor for his fallen friends in the military. He served in the Korean war in 1950. Although he is responsible for saving two of his friends, he had many die during the war.
I've personally been able to see Mr. Taylor play "Taps" at dusk in Galveston, Texas. It's a different feeling actually being there to see how emotional it got while every stood there frozen while this man dedicates so much to the people he, and the whole military, have lost. Recently losing a close friend, I realized how important it was to Mr. Taylor and why he does this everyday at the same time. The point from this is that no matter who you are, you matter to someone. The past month has been hectic in politics and we all need to come together and be there for one another. To set aside the differences in each others lives to pay attention to the people that need our help, before it's too late.
