FEATURED BLOG(GROUP 6) THE HUFFINGTON POST

The Huffington Post is a blog that focuses on every aspect of American life. It offers different topics of choice from politics and business to sports and style. This website is unique because it is relatable to everyone regardless of ethnicity or gender. Although the website offers information from different news sources and columnists the founder of the website is Arianna Huffington. What I would like for everyone to pay attention to is the credibility of the blog, are the creators of this website utilizing specific forms of rhetoric to try and sway the audience? I hope you guys enjoy :)

Featured Blog (Group 5): The Fiscal Times

The Fiscal Times is a blog focused on the economic and fiscal issues in the U.S. We chose this blog because their goal is to promote awareness of all things monetary involving the U.S. government. A LLC funded by Peter G. Peterson, they utilize a very credible set of reporters who have worked for various prestigious publications such as The Washington Post, New York Times and The Chicago Tribune. A small amount of contributing authors post on the blog and they all tend to be qualified in the subjects discussed. It includes a research center where you can access opinions, academic papers, surveys and charts. The “5 Questions” interview section is particularly interesting. We find the cartoon section very amusing as well.
