    Columnist Gregory Rodriguez has written about things such as immigration, political issues, as well as rumors. In “Truth is in the Ear of the Beholder” he discusses why people believe rumors for many reasons from trying to make themselves feel better, wanting it to be true and making sense of the world around them.

    The Real, the Bad, and the Ugly by Cassie Heidecker is an interesting example of analyzing the reality TV epidemic and in addition to the people that view it.

The mundanity of real life is emphasised here vs. the idea that reality TV is scripted and has a lot of extra work put into it to make reality TV more appealing to a broader audience. The author goes on to say that real life is boring which I thought was funny and a little ironic considering that later the author mentions that she is somebody who sets aside time…
