Monday, September 29 ...Miss America research project by John Oliver

The history of journalism research projects should have given you an idea of the multifaceted ways news is gathered, processed and disseminated. 

Today I would like you to look at how solid research may be packaged, its message insinuated into the public conscious through humor. Please watch the following (15 minutes), after which respond to the following in approximately 150 words: What message is John Oliver trying to communicate to the public and what specific facts does he use to support his argument?  Due by midnight. Send along.
