Meet Joe Blog

Meet Joe Blog is an explanation of bloggings effects on today's culture. Blogging has shown that it can have a huge effect on politics, through which it exposes scandals and reveals information that news channels are too politically correct to reveal. One blogger, Matt Drudge, helped in the exposure of Bill Clinton's affair. Around 2002, bloggers began to offer genuine arguments. Blogs also help expose things that the government doesn't want to be seen. Russ Kick posted pictures of the coffins of soldiers, which quickly made it's way to mainstream news stations. Blogging has the unusual ability of infecting people, and making them want to tell others about news stories. The fact that blogging is free helps, too. There are no requirements to start blogging except to know how to use the internet. It is the voice of the people, too. It isn't dumbed down by producers, it's pure thought in its rawest form. Some soldiers even blog from countries who we are in war with. Not all blogs are politics, though. Some blogs have to do with movies, video games, programming, or a little bit of both. Blogs cover a wide variety of subjects. Blogging has it's bad sides, too. It can make a rumor into a seemingly true story. For example, the allegations that John Kerry was having an affair with one of his interns. Blogging is a very easy way to reach out to people, and ask for help, or tell what you think, or simply just make conversation.
