HW20: Politics in Blogs
I think that the blog that would influence me on which way to vote in a coming election would have to be Daily Kos. I simply say that because after reading both the interviews in Kline & Burstein’s book, I thought that Markos Moulitsas Zuniga’s interview was more professional, and he in reality had experience in politics and war. Don’t get me wrong, I unquestionably thought Ana Marie Cox was very interesting, and I actually enjoyed reading her interview, she was funny and full of life, which makes her a good blogger I believe, but not exactly one that would change my mind for a political election. Once I went on both the websites and looked at some of the blogs and articles I definitely knew that Daily Kos was a website where I would beyond doubt go to, to find political information and Wonkette is more of a place I would go to find some humor in our politics today. Although I feel that Zuniga’s website may be a little bit bias because he is a Democrat and believes that deeply, I think that he does come out with the truth for both sides, and this would eventually have a stern impact on how I voted for an upcoming election. I enjoyed reading both interviews and researching both sites, they were very entertaining.
