OTM 1: Doesn't Add Up

I found this On the Media very interesting in may ways. The prime focus was breaking down Trump's budget, how the White House is cooking the books, and why Wikileaks played the media. During the week of March 17, 2017 Garfield reported that the white house released their first budget, which hoped to propose a spending increase in Defense, homeland security, and veterans affair. Bob Garfield states, " The extent to which the proposals would punish the poor was shocking to many in the media and statements made by Trump administration officials didn't help." Also many of the republicans are questioning the CBO integrity throughout this process which would lead 24 million Americans losing insurance.


Bob Garfield also reports that Wikileaks found out that spy agencies are able to track info and get into are phones, which he stated to be extremely "scary".


I agree with Garfield when comes to them being able to get into are phones without permission is very scary. Also it seems that we have lack of privacy which i don't agree with especially if you are a normal day to day citizen. Also knowing that Wikileaks exaggerated a lot of the info is typical cause many Americans will believe everything the media says including myself even if it is false.
