Google rejects White House request to pull Mohammad film clip

      From reading this article it seems to be that the order of information is based on sides. Google is trying to say they have the right to put what they wont because its freedom of speech, and the White House is trying to find ways to take it off Youtube completely. The author of this article has a certain tone which is apathetic, he doesn't show much care about what he’s writing. I mean he does have good facts about the topic but it seems that he is on Google's side. You can tell this from the author saying that the Youtube video is within all of their rights.
     The article is explaining that Google had made a Youtube movie that has started an upward anti-American protest in the Middle East. The reason that the Middle East is so mad about this video is because it says that there Prophet named Mohammad is a “fraud and philanderer”. The main point of this article is that the White House is trying to find a way for Google and there offensive video to be taken down. It says in the article that “U.S. authorities said on Friday that they were investigating whether the film's producer, Nakoula Basseley,  had violated any terms of his prison release (Basseley was convicted in 2010 for bank fraud and released from prison on probation last June).”
    This article makes you have different feeling, such as making me feel as if we have no freedom of speech in our so called free country. Also, that people would over react all because of somebody that has a different religion saying something bad about theirs. Overall they shouldn't care what people say if it’s not true. Even Though this movie has affected the world in many ways. It has caused killing of Americans in the Middle East.

  1. I think "apathetic" is the wrong term here, especially if you can tell he's taking a side.
