THE HUFFINGTON POST

Sorry for posting this late, but the blog I decided to follow is The Huffington Post. I chose this blog because it's fairly popular, and it's the right blend of politics and entertainment. I usually read blogs that are either all about politics or all about media gossip, so I thought I would start reading one that had both. Arianna Huffington is one of the co-founders of the post, the editor-in-chief, and it is named after her. The blog is basically full of commentaries on what is going on in the world of politics and pop culture. There are a lot of celebrities that post on this site, like Rosie O'Donnell and Alec Baldwin along with popular writers for big papers like The New Yorker. There are videos and links and it is constantly updated. There are bios of all the writers with each article. I think that this blog is a good example of what it looks like to blend celebrities and the media and politics. In the past they were kept for the most part separate, but the Post brings them all together to voice their opinions in their blog posts, especially with what's going on with the election.
