1. This political cartoon was drawn by Daniel Kurtzman.
2. This carton was published by About.com on December 5, 2009.
3. This cartoon deals with the issue of Tiger Wood's recent scandal, and the amount of press coverage it has received.
4. The message of this cartoon is that United States media focuses more on things that will entertain Americans, and it turns it back on important issues facing the Country, for example, Obama' s announcement to send more troops into Afghanistan.
5. I agree with this message very much, because the Tiger Woods scandal has gotten a ridiculous amount of press coverage. Yet another celebrity has made a mistake and gotten involved in a scandal, and Americans have been hearing more about that than information about the Health Care reform bill, and the president's plan to increase the number of troops in Afghanistan. It's pretty crazy to see how the media gives more attention to what will entertain its viewers/readers, and bring them a larger audience when there are such more important issues at hand.
I definitely agree. Our society is o fixated on popular culture that we lose sight of what is important. His scandal has been blown way out of proportion. I kind of feel bad for Tiger, but he brought it upon himself.
