David Kline shows a great deal of knowledge about political blogs as shown in the text "Toward a more participatory Democracy". Many people assume that the news that is heard over the radio or on the television is the correct and the most reliable source of information possible. However, after reading this selection I believe that political blogs may be just as if not more effective than any other source. Also, most American’s do not believe that what is said in the media is always true. There are in fact cases where the story might be changed or incorrect in parts but that gives no reason to believe that none of it is true. Kline states, “not tot take anything away from the Republican Web strategists- their man won the election, after all-but Trippi and others maintain that the GOP was not the only party to use the web to unleash the energy and initiative of millions of citizens and allow them to shape the course of campaigns.” After reading this idea I am very curious to see how political blogs effect the upcoming election and I am also anxious to read some of the blogs and see what people have to say.
