Net Neutrality In a Form of the Burger King Whopper
Pop Culture Dives Into the Repeal of Net Neutrality to Help Bring Awareness to the Unfair Treatment of Consumers Burger King is taking over the Internet with the best advertisement of the decade with 'Whopper Neutrality.' Bud Light has come up with a simplistic ad recently with the phrase 'Dilly Dilly, but Burger King has created an intelligent metaphor for the repeal of Net Neutrality. Both ads resonate with audiences, but I find the Burger King ad to provide depth and meaning, along with excellent product placement of their brand. The F.C.C. recently voted to repeal the regulations of Net Neutrality.
Facebook News Is Bad for Democracy, But Great for their Stock Price
Instead of Taking Editorial Responsibility, Facebook Is Just Using Random People in a Survey as Scapegoats Facebook is overhauling their algorithms to better serve the companies that pay them the most in advertising.

These companies are also the ones that advertise the most on Facebook like

Government Shutdown 2018 with an Unbiased View of the Political Discourse
Are You Sick of One-Sided News Reporting? The federal government on Friday was unable to come to an agreement on the budget, and forced a temporary shutdown. Both Republicans and Democrats have noted that they will work over the weekend to reach an agreement. We have went through both sides of this political argument, and have produced a breakdown of each point of view to provide a well-balanced article on this subject. In 2013, the federal government was shutdown for 16 days. The only way for our country to make progress is by stop blaming one another for problems, and
Facebook News Ranking Makes A Mockery of Journalism
Algorithms and Ranking News Based On Popularity Is Not Healthy for Consumers Facebook announced today their plans to change the ranking of news stories to prioritize them based on trustworthy value of the publisher. As a journalist that works hard on providing accurate news on the Web, I can see from a distance the problems and issues that will take place with this new concept.

The Net Neutrality Overturn Process Picks Up Steam with Additional Support in the Senate
A New Political Hero Emerges from Maine known as Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) Which Republican Senator will be the next hero? The overturn process regarding Net Neutrality is gaining momentum with all 49 Democrat Senators and Susan Collins (R-ME) supporting the Congressional Review Act. The process of overturning the repeal with Net Neutrality will have to obtain one more vote from the Senate, pass through Congress, and if it makes it to the desk of President Trump, there is a strong chance he will veto the reinstatement of Net Neutrality.

The Recent Wave of Negative Comments from Donald Trump Show that Compliments and Insults are a Mirrored Reflection of Oneself
Human Interaction is a Reflection of Ourselves Over the years I have interacted with several different kinds of people from various backgrounds. My social interaction with different cultures and mindsets has provided me with the ability to see within the person, and find out why they are using the words they choose to use. I have built a strong understanding of how to psychoanalyze a person during a conversation, break down their mannerisms, and find out more about the person than focusing on the words that they decide to use. In the case of Donald Trump speaking in a negative
