political blog response

blog following: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/

Political Punch is a blog by ABC news correspondent Jake Tapper. Covering many aspects of politics and popular culture the blog brings together many different views and opinions presenting the facts. Exposing information that would otherwise have to be pieced together by oneself.

This professional blog is updated much more frequently than the other blogs, as in many times a day.

On the blog politcal punch is a post about two different Jewish comedians backing their favorite canidate. The first is a video by Sarah Silverman called the great schlep in which she calls all young jews to visit their grandparents in Florida and convince them to vote for Barack Obama. The second is a response from jewish comedian Jackie Mason in which he attacks Sarah Silverman's video for being shallow and not based on fact. After watching each I feel I agree with Jackie Mason. Although Sarah's video supported by the Jewish Council for education and research is funny, it doesn't really offer any facts and is just proaganda that comes off as unintelligent and pushy. In his response Jackie Mason points this out how dumb Sarah's video is and why he is not going to vote for Obama, and it's not because he's a bigot.

That sounds cool how the blog is also about pop culture along with politics. I find it pretty amazing that someone can update a blog multiple times a day, I don't think I could put in that much commitment. I think I would probably have to agree with Jackie Mason also, I don't like when people just use propaganda with no facts.
