Homework assignment 04-03-07

The assignment for next class was to visit some websites that have media messages that contain biases. One of the sites I went to was: http://www.gotmilk.com/news/health/chocolate_milk.html.
which is the "Got Milk" Site. This site is claiming that chocolate milk is the best energy drink for athletes. This site obviously carries some biases. They do not say who did the research or who funded it.
The next site i went to wasthe University of Maine's site on wild blueberries. Here you can find links to many different fact sheets about blueberries. Since this is a .edu website I feel the information here is likely to be unbiased and more reliable.

I went to the "Got Milk" site as well. There are many health claims that they make on this website. I think there might be a little validity to theclaims they make. But, I do think it is very biased.
