The research given is clearly not significant in any sense. Also, because is was based on employees answering questions and guessing how much sleep they have, the accuracy of the study is far from home plate. If I were a Sleepy's employee, I would have advised that the information was not released based on the accuracy of the study. Although the study got them a ton of publicity, it was not necessarily worth it. On the other hand, if I were The New York Times, I would not have a problem publishing this story. Although it is not a great informative story, a lot of people were drawn to the story because of the inaccuracy of it. So in the end, it gets people to buy your paper, and money talks.

In all honesty, Nancy Grace has always gotten on my nerves. Just to get this out of the way, (going off topic) she is one of the most annoying people to watch on television. Now back to the assignment, Nancy Grace has always made a living stirring up unwanted drama on television, and has a reputation for pulling strings with what is true. Nancy Grace would be wise to look up all the facts before she broadcasts her opinions on national television. Not only does she embarrass herself, but she drags her employer with her, leaving them to clean up after her harsh opinions.

Slime That Closed a Company. #Prep3
When you think of slime, "that's what the call the stuff the fill meat with" should not be something that comes to mind. The USDA caused everything by calling the safe product "pink slime". If I were a part Beef Products public relations team, I would pretty upset that it was deemed as "pink slime". I do however believe that people who opposed the filler had a fair argument. And because major companies backed away from the product, it was all downhill from there.
If I were Beef Products Inc. I would have asked for the USDA to issue a public apology and let everyone know how and why the filler was safe. And that may have been able to save their reputation.

In 2011 John Galliano was fired from the Dior fashion house for remarks he made in a bar located in Paris. Hateful speech (especially of the topic Galliano was taunting) is a crime in France. Galliano was a designer and director for 15 years, he was at the top of the food chain in France when it came to the art of fashion. All of a sudden it ended for Galliano. A video exposed of Galliano showed him stating "I love Hitler" and "Your mothers, your forefathers, would all be f***ing gassed." For an organization that is in view of the public at all times, this instance is an embarrassment of all sorts. Companies that want to be successful cannot associate themselves with individuals who behave in this manner. I completely agree with the decision made by Dior to remove themselves from the likes of John Galliano.
