This past week has been filled with tons of news! The top commented story this week on Newsvine was- http://politics.newsvine.com/_news/2009/07/11/3018029-cheney-linked-to-concealment-of-cia-project. "NYT: The CIA concealed a secret counterterrorism program from Congress on orders from former Vice President Dick Cheney, the current CIA director has told lawmakers, sources say" It was also the top voted story of the week. The other top stories: http://top.newsvine.com/index?range=4&filter=comments I have also "clipped" stories I liked and put them on my column for you to read.

The story for this week that I am going to comment on is the death of an American legend. Walter Cronkite. Mr. Cronkite was a legend in the journalism world. The reason that is is so important to me is becuase his school at Arizona State sent me a letter saying they were impressed by my journalism experience and would like me to consider their school. Although I never did watch Mr. Cronkite on the news, I do know he was a legend and will be missed. RIP Mr. Cronkite.
