Conservative blogs

Political blogs of every stripe and color abound online. Conservative blogs number in the hundreds if not the thousands. A handful of the better-known conservative blogs include Free Republic, GotDesign, Vorticity, Urban Grind, and DSS Hubris. While each of these blogs deals with the overarching theme of politics, each has its own slightly different slant. For example, Urban Grind considers politics and current events from the perspective of the conservative woman in Manhattan, while DSS Hubris focuses on the war on terror and U.S. national security strategy. To find any of these blogs, simply search on one of the titles in your Web browser.

About political blogs

A political blog is a blog that focuses on political matters, including local, state, federal, and international politics. Some political blogs express the point of view of one person, while others are authored by multiple people. Political blogs gained legitimacy in the 2004 U.S. presidential election as bloggers were quick to hold the mainstream media's feet to the fire when reporting election news. In particular, bloggers broke the CBS forged memo story that resulted in several CBS executives being fired and Dan Rather's resignation. For a discussion on the impact of political blogs on the media, read "Conference Studies Blogs' Impact on News" at the ABC News Web site.
