AZ central Blog
This site is really simple and easy to comprehend. I like how every topic has a picture of the reporter and how each blog is short and to the point. This site provides you with hyper link to leave comments, report violations, and related topics. Overall I like the political blog website because it covers information from both the state and national level. There are topics about medical marijuana, the state’s Medicaid program, and state sales tax. These are types of information that I am interested in. However I notice that most of the topics are covered by republican reporters such as; Mary Jo Pitzl, Mary K. Beinhart, and Ginger Rough, which tells this site is partially bias from a conservative perspective.
Article: I notice these blogs are state base information. However this site does provide details about the recent state elections going on between Kirk Adams, Russell Peirce, Matt Salman, and Jerry Lewis. Supposedly it was a close race in the Arizona State Elections. I am not much on state government but it is good to know that we can get similar statistics from a blog site such as AZ central.
Huffington Post
This website is a very user friendly website. From my observation and research, this website is appealing to many followers who leave reactions and comments in large numbers. The site is easy to navigate with its wide range of hyperlinks to move from topic to topic and ability to communicate to others with the twitter, e-mail and share links. I personally like this site because it gives the followers the visuals, audio and video to report stories. This website can lean slightly to a liberal stand, but it does cover other perspectives and current events. I can’t really say if this is considered a biased website however.

After reading “Game Change” base on the 2012 elections; it was interesting to learn how each candidate the media affected. Well the blogs about Herman Cain definitely remind me of the blogs in the Huffington Post. The relationship between Obama and Clinton seem similar to the relationship to Cain and Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich spoke positively about Herman Cain’s departure from the 2012 elections and how his 9-9-9 plan was creditable whether we liked it or not. It sounds like these candidates support each other and that this relationship may suede voters who support Cain to follow Gingrich, such as Clinton voters transitioned to Obama.
RIGHTWING NEWS
This website would be my type of source for information. The website is full of hyperlinks to other blog sites, political adds, and the design is really structure to appeal to viewers who are very busy and like to get the point. The website has a lot of conservative emphasis in its information sharing, so I can quickly determine there is a bias. Not to mention the website is labeled “Rightwing”. Although I am more of a liberal type of person, I like this website.
Article: http://conservativedailynews.com/2011/12/ten-reasons-to-love-rick-perry/
This article reminds me of module eleven “election coverage continued”. This article speaks on ten reason to love Rick Perry. Obviously the media in this blog site support candidate Rick Perry because they are giving the readers reason to support him, along with ads, links, statistics that are all about the positive perspective of the presidential candidate. This site also provides ads and you tube tabs to obtain additional information for the subject matter.
