OTM 2: Highly Irregular

This week on On The Media it focus on many topics that are opening many peoples eyes lately. Such as An expensive TV ad campaign has been selling Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch to the American people. Also even though the Trump wiretapping accusations might be false, we need to be aware somebody might be listening no matter what. A couple weeks ago Good ol President Trump made some bold accusations claiming that President Obama had the Trump Tower wiretapped. Which as been proved not to be true at all, but the republicans still believe their was some type of surveillance at the Trump Tower. “I recently confirmed that on numerous occasions the intelligence community incidentally collected information about US citizens involved in the Trump transition,” stated by Rep. Devin Nunes. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and it refers to the communications of US citizens that get swept up in surveillance of a foreign national. He described it to be very common to get a incidental collection.

Bob Garfield also talks about how Neil Gorsuch is getting extremely pushed on to the American People. The ad campaign for Gorsuch is up to 10 million dollars. They want to ensure he gets an high seat on the high court. Gorsuch is getting funded by a lot of dark money which many people are not happy with because people believe he is not a good choice due to poor decisions in the past.

I really enjoyed this weeks topic and i found many things interesting. Especially learning about the Section 702 and what it means and how it can affect us. I feel extremely alarmed that we are could possibly be spyed on and not even know it. Also Trump needs to stop tweeting cause is mouth is getting him in trouble even if is Hotel was wiretapped, just shut up and keep your mouth shut.
