Kiska's Presentation

I thought Kiska's presentation was very informative. He knows a lot of useful information about blogs and what it means to be a "professional journalist." I think blogs can be a very helpful resource. If you find someone's blog who shares the same thoughts, ideas, and opinions as you do, you could follow that blog daily to keep up-to-date on what's going on. Or you could write your own blog to let the world know what you think and feel. Personally, I would rather read blogs that share my political opinion. I'm a McCain/Palin supporter, so reading blogs that support Obama would be of no interest to me. Blogging is a good way to express yourself. You can say whatever you want on your blog, and it's out there for the world to see. I realize that blogs are based strictly on opinions, but I think it's a great way to get your views out there.

I am a pure Obama supporter because of his economic views and whenever a blog is about the negative views of McCain/Palin or the positive views of Obama, then I would read it.

I think you should add to your blog which site you might visit for more information on this fall's election. If you don't like the ones from the list, maybe you should indicate that you don't. Wow, I wrote too much.

I'm with you on the McCain supporter, but you definitely should read up on both sides. It's good to know what the other side is doing to better their chances, and what they're saying bad about what you stand for.

Thumbs up on the fact that blogs allow you to voice your opinion. I agree with the fact that people are more interested in blogs that agree with your beliefs.

I actually do read both sides, which is what made me decide on who to vote for. I just prefer to read the blogs that share the same opinion as I do :]
