Dan Rather

Schlafly is a “conservative spokeswoman” (CBS This Morning, 1981). By the same token, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page is conservative, but the equivalent editorial page in the New York Times is simply “middle of the road,” as the Dan (CBS’s nickname for Dan Rather) so elequently puts it.      But the fascinating reason why this book is so compelling is not just what is being said, but by whose mouth it is spewing from.

Jonah Goldberg appears to stay opened minded in a majority of the columns he writes. Goldberg does not really allow for the worst of events to bring him down, which gives him the opportunity to remain hopeful for the future despite any issues. In addition, Goldberg prefers to stay his ground on a typical conservative viewpoint on topics, and also really likes to juxtapose the viewpoints of a conservative to that of a liberal to give the reader an idea of the mind of both parties.

Media has left an indelible mark on the lives of many generations before me, which is something I already knew. I’ve seen black-and-white clips of CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite as he heartbreakingly informed America on the assassinations of prominent figures like John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as breaking the Watergate scandal. I’ve seen syndicated Sanford and Son reruns, and I’ve listened to music from 70s and 80s artists like Blondie, The Mamas and Jim Croce. However, despite

Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. was an American broadcast journalist who was born November 4, 1916 in St. Joseph, Missouri. He was famous for his anchorman role for CBS Evening News, “his style [was] honesty, impartiality and level-headedness, and “And that's the way it is” was his jaunty nightly sign-off.” (Biography.com Editors) Cronkite reported several breaking news stories, especially during World War II bombings, Nuremberg trials, Vietnam War updates, Iran Hostage Crisis, and the assassination

rights of citizens to be informed on important happenings and as a result, earned trust from his audience. Cronkite resigned in 1981, leaving many Americans in disbelief. However, he promised on his last broadcast that he wouldn’t be disappearing but rather just appearing less. Keeping his word, Cronkite stayed active even after resigning by creating documentaries and forming his own company. Cronkite unfortunately died on July 17, 2009, in New York

Dan Ariely, the author of «Predictably Irrational», conducted a comprehensive research related to human behaviour and its influence on our decision making. In the seventh chapter of the book, Dan explains why people overvalue their possessions and how this overestimation hinders our life. He considers that our perspectives can be changed dramatically due to overvaluing what we have and gives several instances of proving his thoughts. The first example is the experiment at Duke University where students

In Dan Sperber’s article “The Future of Writing,” he assesses the presence of writing and reading in our society, as well as where it may lie in the future . He addresses the possible downfall of writing, the prevalence that reading will hold in our society, as well as how our society will adapt and handle the changes. He also covers the emergence of text-to-speech and speech-to-text technological advances, the effects on society and how the disappearance of the two of them will never fully occur

Predictably Irrational, by Dan Ariely, is a book that attempts to explain the nonsense that we apply to our everyday habits. Through different experiments that Ariey and his colleagues conducted, Ariely was able to conclude that the decision making guidelines we use are irrational, but more importantly, predictable.
