On September 19 I read the Huffington Post. It is a media outlet that has a little bit of something for everybody. The topics discussed in this outlet range from news, business, and politics to art, entertainment, and tv. I generally liked this outlet, even more than The New York Times, because in the Huffington Post the paragraphs seem shorter and the sentences don’t tend to carry on as long.

The top story was Obama Takes On Coal With First-Ever Carbon Limits. This article discussed that the Obama administration is looking to push “tough requirements for new coal-fired power plants.” However, the reason that power plants haven’t met the new standards is because of the high cost. With coal accounting for 40 percent of U.S. electricity, the government will have a tough time regulating such a powerful industry.

The next article I read was about Mindy Kaling, who played a role on “The Office” and is the star of “The Mindy Project.” Kate Arthur had accused her on twitter of being a Republican, which Kaling responded to as being a false statement. She thinks that her being a Republican is “ridiculous.”

The last article I read was “’Big Bang Theory’ Cast Working Together For Higher Salaries.” Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are banding together to raise their salaries from $350,000 per episode to up around half a million per episode. They are using similar strategies that have worked in the past, such as with the cast of Friends. The show is such a huge asset to CBS that the three cast members know exactly how important they are to bringing in profit for CBS.
