After reading about how DailyKos and Wonkette, two popular blogs that comment on current news, were started I must say that I am more attracted to Wonkette. Its humor is more interesting and drew me in more than the more bland quality of DailyKos. Wonkette’s site has funny headings that draw in the reader and make the reader want to read more on the site. Its girlish picture at the top of the site makes it seem hip and modern, whereas DailyKos has no illustrations or intro at the top of its site. When I went to Wonkette the humorous heading atop a picture of Bush immediately captivated me. I proceeded to the rest of the article about the picture and then was compelled to read the rather funny remarks readers had posted below.
I would much rather read a humorous political commentary to a dry one any day.
DailyKos reminds me of my parents. Something they would cook up to vent their frustrations at the current government situation. This is not a bad thing per se, but to hear more of that is not very interesting.
Wonkette on the other hand is like the Colbert Report, a funny political satire that helps one to get an inking of what’s up in the white house without seeming too rhetoric.
