Today in class we went into a term called muckraking. Muckraking is a term used to describe when people try to "dig out dirt" on people or companies. Muckraking can sometimes be bias and most of the time it is. From getting fired form your job to not getting the satisfaction guaranteed. Not all Muckraking comes from bias sources. Many people discover their "dirt" through research. In a movie we watched called "Super size Me" the main character found out that McDonald chicken Nuggets are made from not the healthy but crippled, diseased, and old chickens with enlarged breast. They put the chicken through a processor,then form them into their shapes, and ship them while in refrigeration to McDonald's where they are basically reheated. What I just stated was an example of muckraking on McDonald's chicken nuggets.
