Communication in Public Settings (Thursday)

No, the creators of the website did a poor job of trying to confuse people by renaming water with its scientific or chemical name of DHMO. Unfortunately, some have polluted several websites with purposely biased propaganda meant to spread rumour and scare people to believing in it. the following information about Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division does not endorse the use of scare tactics, particularly when telling people about the invisible killer, DHMO such as exposing humans to the deadly cancer. However, the website does not provide any listings for further reading and or sources for crossing facts. They are set up to promote certain agenda or advance the interest of certain groups. Everything seem to be entirely made up and from their view point. It defies common sense to put out such alarming news without any credible source.

To improve upon their argument i think they must come again with sources  or research findings to make their case persuading and rational to the common man, and also avoid being overly sensational as this cast doubt in the minds of critically thinking persons.

he front page of Sunday’s New York Times features a much longer reconstruction of Obama’s Afghanistan deliberations, with the same Veterans Day scene and (nearly) the same quote: “‘I want this pushed to the left,’ he told advisers, pointing to the bell curve. In other words, the troops should be in sooner, then out sooner.”

The tidbit neatly serves both the press and the White House: The reporters appear to be getting a juicy scoop – the sort of take-you-there detail that might turn up in a Bob Woodward book years after the fact. And the president’s aides are dishing an irresistible illustration of a take-charge president’s proactive approach to his decision to commit 30,000 more troops to a war that has begun to look like a quagmire.

This type of story – known in the trade as a “tick-tock,” for its heavy reliance on chronology – has become de rigueur for the big papers in the days after a major Washington event. Sunday’s Washington Post also has an Afghanistan tick-tock that posted on the web Saturday afternoon, five minutes after The New York Times’ opus. The L.A. editors rushed the piece into type after a sit-down White House briefing on Thursday, knowing that competitors were working on their own versions.
