The first amendment does protect freedom of speech and the burning of Koran, many are saying is a type of speech. The event was to honor what happened on September 11 2001. I say it is not a right thing to do even though it is to celebrate 911. I believe that the aftermath of this event happening is that there may be an outrage that will cause people to get hurt. Religion is very powerful and can cause an uprising. It is hard to have to protect the actions of this individual but he does have every right to protest. My thoughts on it is that he should think about what can happen after if he goes through with this doing. Many people want him dead when he announced of what he was to do. It could cause chaos and lives put in danger. His outspoken type of speech won’t restore any peace for 911.
As for the news I think they sometimes over exaggerate stories. With the burning of Koran, it is very important to inform the people about what is to happen. They even had a discussant about president Obama’s thoughts about the event. The media can change stories to entertain the public. They may add in a little spice to make the story entertaining as well as change one fact. Once they get a hold of information, the news can do anything with it. It doesn’t matter if you’re the good guy or the bad and if you’re powerful, one false slip from the news can ruin a person’s reputation. Sometimes I think that certain people want to appear on the news to gain attention so that everyone around the country will know what they are doing or what they did. I think the news takes advantage of that.
