BLog Group #6

This blog is written by Greg Jeffers a very libertarian, investment CEO concerning the American energy crisis and their politics. He claims that this blog is for those who are willing to question everything and if you have a bias to believe everything in the mainstream media that you should not read this blog. He is definitely opinionated and it should be interesting to see peoples' comments with different views than Greg.

Blog Group 5

For our blog, we've chosen this:

AtlasShrugs

AtlasShrugs belongs to Pamela Geller, a deeply opinionated conservative blogger. For the past seven years, Geller has been using her personal blog to, in her words, bring "you the news you will not hear from the mainstream media, providing original reportage, covering little-reported events of great import, and giving an unblinkingly honest examination of global affairs". Her blog has landed her appearances on many of the major news stations, including NBC and CNN. Geller and her blog have also been the topic of a recently published NY Times article and interview.

One can easily note that her opinion, although her written hope is 'honest exmination', is rather biased to her personal conservative views. Her attacks on the Democratic party are ever present. Her views on politics are very clear through her blog. Receiving around 200,000 unique visitors per month, her blog is ever increasing in popularity, but is it directly the same with her impact? Thoughts?
