How they all relate.

           There are two blogs that I have read over the past few weeks. The first one is the CNN political blog and the second one is the beyond the box score blog. These two blogs are pretty different. The CNN blog, which is arguable biased, focuses on the politics in our country. It is a good time to be following a political blog because of the the primary season. There have been a lot of candidate-to-candidate attacks that provide a lot of interesting news stories. The second blog satisfies my nerdy need for baseball statistic. The beyond the box score blog provides extremely interesting information that the casual baseball fan does not know. For example, last week one of the posts was a data table about the most players to bat seventh in the batting order over their career. Who does that? This is a completely unnecessary stat, but provides a fix for my baseball needs.

            I feel that the CNN blog relates more to the New York Times then the baseball blog does. The CNN blog is more of a prominent and professional news sources that supply the reader with current news that is applicable to the present day. I am sure that the New York Times has an equivalent political blog of there own that probably mirrors the one supplied by CNN. The stat blog that I also follow does not really relate too much to the New York Times because I feel that it is not as applicable, and while arguable more interesting, doesn’t inform the reader about what is going on at that hour all across the world.

            The blogs are for sure part of a press sphere. The CNN and the New York Times are part of the sphere and I am sure they have cited, contradicted and argued with each other on many occasions. The baseball blog is in a different press sphere but in undoubtedly in and for sure gets cited by many other statistically driven blogs.
