Remembering 9/11

Good to see you all back again this week.

Today is September 11, 2013, as you all remember the attacks on the twin towers, the Washington post has a nice article about the remembrance of the event. The Post covers various topics much like the New York Times without a bias toward any political party. The one that would stick out for me today was the ceremonies at the Pentagon marking the 12-year anniversary of this tragic event. The ceremonies began today at 9:30 in the morning around the time that the plane was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon. President Obama spoke at the first ceremony about the events of that day and of those who had lost their lives. There are also a couple more ceremonies at the World Trade Center site and the Flight 93 memorial later today.

Our problems with terrorist are ongoing and today we are facing attacks all over the world one of them being in Syria right now. The United States has began to aid rebels in Syria with light weapons, so they can try and fight against attacks from the regime of Bashar al-Assad after the use of chemical warfare on its own people.

In other news, Apple has released the preordering of the iPhone 5C and 5S. The 5C is a little less expensive than the 5S and will be able to come with different colors for its back, which is unlike any other thing apple, has done.  Both of these phones will come with the new IOS 7 operating system, which is said to be completely remodeled.

I feel that the audience for this outlet is anyone of all ages willing to learn about what is going on in the world because most of the topics even though they are domestic have an effect globally whether it be stock trades or technology.

This media source appealed to me due to the fact that that is well diverse in all of its topics and doesn’t keep them just within the United States.
