Short Response:
1.He was deserted by even his staunchest allies.
2.The Liberal Party.
3. "The citizens of Austin expect transparency and a voice in key policy decisions," Blyth said. "We feel that the Mayor and City Council aren't listening to us or representing us well."
4. Provide help to counselors in identifying their student's career goals and how to help the achieve their goals.
5. It was a 33 yard field goal.
Long Response:
1. Right now, a Democratic-led impeachment inquiry for Trump is in order. Trump, who doesn't not believe that this is fair, compares the inquiry to lynching. Lynching occurred back then when angry mobs killed thousands of black people. Trump's comments sparked an out-roar from many people. It most definitely disturbed people who had family members that were lynched. This was not the only time that Trump has used unleashing racially inflammatory language. However, Lindsey Graham, who is close to Trump, said, "This is a lynching in every case."
2.Lynch is when a mob kills someone, sometimes by hanging, for an offense even with pr without a legal trial.
3.Lynching was very common in the South after the American Civil War. African Americans were the most common targets, but some whites were lynched also. Hangings were the most common use of killing when lynchings took place.
4.I think that Trump chose to use the word lynching when describing what he is currently facing with impeachment because in his opinion, he felt that a large group of people were accusing him of something without proof of it.
5. I do not think that the word lynching is appropriate in this circumstance. I think this because lynching was so horrible and awful back then, and I think that murder is a lot worse than an investigation.
5b. I think that in response, the president needs to give an apology for his use of words. That is because his words really hurt a lot of people, especially the ones who has family members or people they knew lynched.

CE #2.1
1. Dental Aligners
2.Fanny packs are back-but better in the front, some deals are just too good to be true, know your surroundings, don't panic if you lose your friends- there's a tent for that, its OK to drink, but stick to water, and keep your eyes peeled for danger,
3.More than 110 clients.
4. 115 times (if you count the inaugural meeting).
5. The Alamo Drafthouse of Torment. That is because I like to watch scary movies with a group of people. I would also like to go to the Yappy Hour at the Long Center. That is because I have 3 dogs. and I just love dogs in general.
Long Response:
1. New proposed land development laws will make affordable housing in Austin multiply. If the laws get approved, then income-restricted affordable homes in Austin, could multiply by six times. The laws would create a shift from single-family housing in Austin, to multiple unit homes. Trying to make more housing in Austin available and affordable was why the laws were brought forward. One side think that these laws are not good because it will drive out home owners. However, another side think thats these laws will allow citizens with lower incomes to live in Austin.
2.More affordable housing could help Austin, because right now Austin is growing like crazy and becoming more expensive, pushing people out of their homes, which means the culture of Austin is changing. With affordable housing, the people in Austin can keep living here, and the city will be prepared for a more rapid growth in population.
3. One problem with the current code is that it limits the amount of affordable pricing that Austin can have because of state laws. Another problem is that it limits the total housing unit capacity from increasing.
4. I think that Austin has a huge affordable housing issue. That is because property taxes are flying through the roofs, as Austin becomes more industrialized and populated.
5. A housing issue has impacted me. That is because, when my family is looking to buy a new home, the housing issue can become a problem when we look at whether this home will be profitable in the future.
6.One suggestion that I think would help the process or bringing more affordable housing to Austin's core is to build up. From a TED Talk from my geography class, I have learned that for cities, it is better to build up, than build out. That is so that there would be more housing in less space. That would then overall reduce the pricing of housing because there is more of it.

Ethics in the Media
A Suspect "Confession"
Summary: In mid-August, John Karr was arrested at the request of U.S officials. The arrest was made after a journalism professor, Michael Tracey, told authorities information that he got from e-mails that John Karr had sent him because he was interested in Tracey's argument that John and Patsy Ramsey were not fairly charged with the crime of their daughter's death. After DNA testing, John Karr was cleared, but not freed because of other charges. Michael Tracy then received heat for not being very ethical.
Response: I think that you do break a confidence with a source if you think it can solve a murder or protect children half a world away. That is because, I think that you are being ethical if you are trying to protect people even if that means you have to break confidence with a source.
The Media's Foul Ball
Summary: In 2003, the Chicago Cube were 5 outs away from winning a trip to the World Series. The Cubs had not been to the World Series since 1945. However, on a foul ball, a fan tried to catch the ball instead of allowing the player to get the Cubs one out closer to the World Series. When the Florida Marlins made a comeback and knocked the Cubs out of the playoffs, a lot of people were blaming the fan in the stands for the loss. The fans identity was unknown until the Chicago Sun-Times released his name and where he worked and lived. The Chicago Sun-Times was also put under a lot of heat because many people believed that it was un-ethical for them to release the fan's name and where he lived/worked.
Response: I think that the fan, under all costs, should not be identified by the media. I think that because there are a lot of people who probably hate his guts. Not only that, but there were probably huge bets placed on the baseball game. That means that bettors who lost might want revenge on the fan. Also, the fan's identity was something that everybody did not need to know.
Publishing Drunk Drivers' Photos
Summary: Don White, an editor/publisher for a newspaper in Anderson County, Kentucky created a new policy for the newspaper that was very controversial. Starting in January 1988, any drivers convicted of drinking while driving would get there picture published in the newspaper. Don White believed that this policy would help to limit the amount of drunk drivers on the road, because the drivers would not want to get embarrassed by their picture in the newspaper for drinking while driving. However, many outsiders believed that this policy was unethical and would embarrass people more than get them to stop. One time, police reported that a teenager who got arrested for DUI tried to commit suicide after he learned that his picture would be published in the newspaper.
Response: I do not think that this is an appropriate policy for a newspaper. That is because I think that it is too extreme to publish a photo of a person arrested in the newspaper. The people who were published in the newspapers were probably really effected by it, and I think that the policy embarrassed people more than limit the amount of drunk people driving.

Final Questions
A. I think that the major differences between a hard news story and an opinions piece is that opinion pieces are supposed to be about the writer’s opinion while a hard news story is supposed to mainly be all fact. Another difference is that a hard news story has a lot of quotes, while opinion piece have little to no quotes. Another big difference is that a hard news story usually follows the LTQT style writing while an opinion piece does not.
B. I think that there aren’t very many photos on this page in order to not mislead the reader, that way the reader can form their own opinion based on the reading.
C. I think that sports, new trends, and school policies are three topics that would be good to write opinion pieces on.

14. I believe that the purpose of the media/journalism in today's world is to give citizens information, that the citizen can then create opinions off of and make choices based on them.
15. One of the things that I noticed about the three article's headlines was that none of them said the same thing.

18. I do not believe that all media should treat coverage the same. That is because if we did, citizens would have no opinions, and something could easily be covered up and kept secret.
19. I do believe that it is okay if for some media outlets to be slanted towards one side or another as long as the reader knows this. That is because in order for people to have opinions, they must hear different sides of the story.
20. Yes, there is a reason to click on media sources that do not report the news the way you want. That is because you can compare the news you do like to the one you don't like. Also, you can atleast listen to another opinion in the story.
21. I think that the media can accurately report on what is happening in the world by using more facts and less opinions or informed opinions.
