Approval of U.S. Supreme Court Down to 40%, a New Low

My previous knowledge about the Supreme Court prior was not too much. I learned a lot of new and interesting facts about it. For instance I learned how the Supreme Court is the most important Judicial power in America. I learned how many cases that they are presented over a year and how many they actually take which was crazy to learn about. The biggest take away point to me was how The Supreme Court is not able to make laws yet they are able to declare certain laws as unconstitutional which I found to be very interesting. After watching videos, they gave me a more clear understanding about The Supreme Court, what they do, what they have control of, and who they are in our Judicial system.

My top and first news source of choice is ABC News. I have used them for many years and believe that they are a credible reliable news source. They post current, factual, up to date world news. When I need to see what is going on in the world I would go to ABC News. They have an arrangement of articles but if I need to look up something specific and want to see if they have covered it I use their handy search bar at the top of the page.

I think the New York Times is one of the more accurate and reliable news sources out there that I commonly use. Like ABC News they post current and credible news going on around the world. Their website and articles has helped me with many different assignments and projects throughout my educational career. What I like about their website is at the top of the page they have an assortment of different links that you can click on to see what topics of news you would like to see or read about. I would definitely recommend The New York Times to anyone looking for a good source of news. Heres a link to check it out! https://www.nytimes.com

A news source that I personally wouldn't trust is Daily Mail. I have seen an arrangement of different articles from them that haven't been true. The Daily Mail provides false and over dramatized information in many of its stories that I have read. I believe there are far more true and reliable news sources out there. For anyone wanting to use Daily Mail as a source, do your research first on your topic. Heres a link to check it out! https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ushome/index.html

Youtube is not one of the best sources to find News. Just about anyone is able to upload a video saying information that is completely false. I have found that Youtube is not a good source for News from my own research of different topics. The one thing that is nice about Youtube is the live videos of credible news sources like ABC News. Besides the helpful live and posted videos from credible news sources, Youtube isn't the best way to go. Heres a link to check it out! https://www.youtube.com

My last news source is The Wall Street Journal. I think they are a very insightful and credible news source that I like to use. They cover stories that are not always talked about in a lot of other news sources. This site like the New York Times has a helpful bar at the top to choose a variety of different categories for news sources. Overall I think The Wall Street Journal is a great resource and news source. Heres a link to check it out! https://www.wsj.com
