The blog I enjoy reading is “The Great American Blog” -http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/hannity/blog/
This is a blog written by TV host and radio personality, Sean Hannity and his web producers and it discusses conservative politics and current events.
1.) I enjoy reading this blog because it gives a daily view of current events going on around the world and discusses the political atmosphere of the time. Sean Hannity is an opinionated conservative voice and I agree with his views. I like that the blog posts arguments, gives an opinion on the arguments and then hopes for responses which may counter the author’s opinions. The bloggers voice is professional without being stuffy and is well read on events such as the upcoming presidential election and provides an interesting point of view.
2.) The author somewhat does the kind of writing Murray discusses, however he puts much more personal opinion than Murray would approve of . However, he is very dedicated to his cause and to the information he passes along. He gives a lot of information through narrative and real life scenarios, and Murray is more of a newsman’s’ newsman!
3.) The technique Murray talks about when he only uses one sense at a time I think will be an effective trick to writing about things I want to write. By allowing one sense to take over, my observations will be less muddled and can be separated into the pieces that are picked up by each sense. This will create much more of a descriptive element and gives the author a very different lens to view their story from.
4.) I think that an important part of a blog, in order for it to be worth anything, is that comments should be allowed and discussions should be sparked by the information on the blog. “Great American” allows a reader to agree or disagree, but only after stating educated reasons why. Some bloggers are too afraid to let people comment on their ideas!
