The Differences in Blogging

Today in Foundations, we performed an experiment. Posing as hardcore liberals and then hardcore conservatives, we had to look up different hot-button issues and post about them. It gave me a great understanding of the differences between the different styles of each ideology. There are wack-jobs everywhere, but when it comes down to reliable sources, the liberals are typically allowed to be much more subtle. This is because most people are so used to hearing their thoughts and ideas that it's nothing new for them. On the other hand, conservatives do not have this same ability. They have to be very loud and clear about what they believe because they feel as if they are presenting new ideas to the entire nation. To some extent, I would have to say I can't blame either side for their tactics. However, it is clear that something needs to be done to level the playing field if people really desire "unbiased" journalism the way they say they do.
