Monday Matters #11

            The government. Some people say they tell truth many say they lie. The majority of people agree that that is true with CDC,Center for Disease Control, on the topic of ebola. In this political cartoon it shows a clear example of that claim. From this cartoon we can infer so much. Pictures are worth a thousand words as said by Fred R. Barnard. This cartoon depicts that the CDC, which is on the character's hazmat suit, lies to the people using a fake spokes person while they feed the spokes person with the words to say. CDC is "claiming" that ebola is under control however the characters face shows otherwise because he has a neurotic look. It is clear to us that CDC is lying to us all.
       Other sources differ however. This source is from CDC themselves. Everything said in this press release was never so negative that it would cause major widespread of panic. They say everything the people want to her. It talks about the importance of continuing their work because the decrease of cases in reports have suggested it. It gave statistics on how ebola has decreased from 95% of people who tested positive for ebola to 25%. These two sources contrast dramatically and are nowhere comparable
