My blogs are The World Newser, and theatlantic.com. It is very ironic that these are the two blogs that I am using as they are opposite views of the political spectrum. It is a shame when I think about it, how different ideals are manipulated to form ideologies and thoughts and they are on different web sites that have to be researched by a person interested in the subject. It shows how the internet could be used in an incorrect way and even if non intentionally give people wrong information.
The World Newser is a fairly popular blog as it is part of ABCNews’s website and is part of their major newscast in World News with Charles Gibson. The author is the staff of World News who in a sense just put up the news stories of the day or interesting statistics involved with current events and let whoever is on the site take a crack at it and give their opinion. The purpose of the blog is to show different people what is going on in the world and allows them to give their two cents worth of opinion and have a full conversation with others about it.
The Atlantic on the other hand is a very similar blog compared to The World Newser; however, it is geared up toward a more focused group than the other blog. The fact that it is a twist on typical conservatism and Andrew Sullivan is not your typical conservative has in my opinion he gives more of a liberal viewpoint than that of the right side. Furthermore, the blog is not updated as much as The World Newser and thus shows the specific topics that the authors (Sulilvan and team) really feel is significant to their viewers.

I too chose two blogs with opposing view. I think it gives the reader more to think and write about.
