Ok, here are my assignments for wednesdays class.
The first site i examined was AirCongress.com and from the get go this looked like a simply set up site. It seems slanted towards the right side of politics and isnt set up like a real news site at all. It looks like more of a blog than a news site that really tries to be one.
The second one I examined was OurMedia.org, which with the .org it is an orginazational website, which would make it seem like a site to trust. Upon opening it you see a whole bunch of lines and podcasts and music and it makes you think that wow, is this really a news site? Deff would say that this is a democratic site.
The third site i looked at was mediastorm.org and once agian we find a site where the .org is used. This is the site that actually is a non biased media outlet. Run by the Washington Post, it offers indepth looks at real news media stories and news that was prevelant to todays world. It really didnt slant either way, it was more balanced that most
The fourth site reviewed was salon.com, the true left centered site. Filled to the brim with Obama stories and pro Clinton advetisements and stories that would make any Republican cringe. Some crdible news stories but mainly just pro democrat things dominate this site that is hard to focus on at times with the color of the font and the flashing videos

Good. Do you have the first assignment? I know you were away. See one of the first blogs about the Comm Department Web site critique.
