Yahoo's 9/11 video lacks truth, respect for day of tragedy

By Bill Rollin

Yahoo on Sept. 11 released a video on Facebook that advertised the opening of the new Cortlandt Street Subway Station at the World Trade Center in New York City. At 14 seconds into the video, it shows an image accredited to Getty Images, with the caption “Under rubble when the twin towers collapsed in 2011” — which any American knows is false, showing the true definition of media blindness in this generation. In under one hour this video had 185,000 views and only 36 comments, with only six viewers realizing Yahoo’s mistake.

Reason for the season

By Slate Staff

If we imagine the holiday season in the form of dramatic structure, the days preceding Halloween are akin to the exposition, while immediately after would have to be the rapidly rising action.

By Erica Mckinnon

Brianna R. Brochu, a freshman of the University of Hartford was arrested and charged with third-degree criminal mischief and second-degree breach of peace. Normally, when you hear of a freshman getting arrested, it may be due to a citation for underage drinking, but rarely third-degree criminal mischief or second degree breach of peace.
