- ABC News Coverage of Protestors being dispersed and Trump’s Church “Photo OP”
I think that this interview is extensive, and very crucial in this time of continued protests. This video shows the difference in how the people and the government are taking the issue of George’s killing. It even shows how the state heads and the president have divided views on this issue.
- Fox News Coverage interview key Trump advisor
This report shows that not all protests are violent. It shows solidarity between people from different races and different nationalities expressing their views on this long-spoken issue of racism. It is also interesting to note that the solution is not always having the police in such protests. Protests can be peaceful.

- Washington Week Reporters discuss the week’s events
Some thoughtful commentaryy
I like how this interview is all inclusive, not only because it involves the best and diverse panel but because it discusses the protests in depth. What caught my attention in this panel discussion what Yamiche says. Just like she has seen before, this will end up being more talk than action.
- Washington Week Extra More discussion and commentary
- make a comment of how the week’s events in
Minneapolis unfolded, starting with the killing of George Floyd.
The killing of George Floyd in plain site was the breaking point of the people of color in the USA. For decades now the issue of police brutality especially on the African Americas has often been raised but no permanent solution has been provided. This week has been proofing that people from all races are tired of this hence the solidarity during the protests.
- I like how they discuss the issue of the executive order that targets social media companies. In the midst of the protests, people waited to hear a voice of reason from the president who instead sent a tweet that got the guns blazing. I agree with the reporter that the president is using his power on a private company, which is unnecessary and also not called for.
- President Trumps controversial tweet
The tweet by president Trump had gotten people especially those protesting angry. As the president, they expected him to address the issue publicly but instead he went on to twitter. His tweet was considered racist and taken down by twitter and this led him to signing executive orders. I like how CNN was detailed in this issue.
- President Trumps controversial executive order
This video shows the events happening during the third night of the protests. People are tired of the leaders not speaking on their behalf and also for the continued oppression of the black people. In this live coverage, the police make it impossible for the protestors to achieve their goal.

with the increasing cases and deaths of people due to the COVID-19, strict measures were put to prevent the spread of this deadly virus. A church in California requested for an ease on these strict regulations, but the request was rejected. The post clearly discusses the details of this request and why the court found it wise not to ease these regulations.
- an important Supreme Court decision with implications for the First Amendment and our response to Covid-19
This piece recognized the people who succumbed to the deadly Virus. This serves as reminder of the productive citizens, family and friend we have lost. This also shows us how important it is to follow the government’s guidelines to stay home.
- A grim milestone
The headline of this article says it all. It explains how people are tired of living oblivious of the injustices happening. The recent cases that have been shared on the internet have provoked people to take action.
