In “Web of Influence” the Foreign Policy article by Daniel Drenzer, he discusses how blogging has influenced politics, and the other way around as well. I chose to respond to the paragraph that begins with “Blogs are already influencing U.S. politics.” I think that this paragraph is important because it talks about how many people read the political blogs and I really think it has an influence on those people, and at least they enjoy it since they read it so much. It talks about how one thing that was not in the media, went into the blogosphere and resulted in a huge outrage. In short, I think that this paragraph quickly demonstrates how blogging has influenced politics and it should be interesting to see how much more influence they can have on the coming up elections.
