In Are You Bored Yet’s second episode, sophomores Emily Barnett and Fiona Flynn exchange opposing views on whether popular items, trends, events, and people should be presented in the media. The general audience of viewers and listeners on all types of media are drawn to certain topics based on different factors. Barnett and Flynn debate whether popular ideas should continue to be reported on since they are something the audience resonates with, or if they should not be reported on since they are things people are already aware of.
