The Truth About The CJReport

I have never gone to a citizen journalism sites, maybe because I have no idea what citizen journal was. Right from the beginning the Top Story caught my attention about McCain. Since I found this story to be such an attention grabber I had to read it. The article obviously has no really reason to’ kill’ Americans just an amendment but the well thought head line made you want to read and understand what the author was trying to say about McCain As I scrolled down the page I found that more than half of the articles grabbed my attention The authors that put their stories on this site have very creative minds for thinking of headlines.
The best part was that the site was not just about the news and politics, there was also an article on Hollywood star, Heath Ledger. Since I am not a real big fan of politics I decided to go in a different direction and click the article called “Ledger ‘sure bet’ to with Golden Globe.” I was very interested in the article. I felt that is kept my attention as a reader and gave enough information for me to know about Ledger and the Golden Globes.
Also while scrolling down the original CJReport page I saw a girl standing there in a bra! I had no idea who it was until I clicked on her picture and realized I saw her on the show “I Love Money” and “Rock of Love.” I cannot get over her pictures she had posted, there so revealing and tasteless. I realized at the bottom of the page that her pictures were on their where comments from other people. The one person stated their opinion “I suggest she work on something meaningful and permanent because looks fade and that's all you seem to have.” I could not agree with them more.
The Nazi article was interesting. I would say it was one of my top two favorites when I was reading. I think I feel that way because I have studied and learned so much about the Holocaust during my religious Holocaust class I had last year. I also remember hearing about the experiments that the Nazi Army would conduct on the victims and I feel like I had a flash back to my class and the first thought I had when we talked about it then.
I feel that if the four articles that I read caught my attention so well that all the articles must do the same. There not to long either and every easy to read. They do provide enough information thou for you to understand the whole story. They keep the older stories on the board while having the date of when they were written. This site has a wide range of different stories and tells them in different ways. For example, some stories are narratives like the Russian story. I enjoy reading them because they are easy to understand. I hate when you are reading an article and when you are done you still do not know what you just read. This site was simple and to the point. I would defiantly go back and visit this site again.
