Blog Summary and Critique

I visited The Huffington Post website after conducting a Blogger.com search for Bill O’Reilly. It took me to the Steven Young section of the Huffington Blog page. In addition to the Blog page, the site had a link to a Home, News, Eat the Press, and Fearless Voices page. The site can be navigated by clicking on a link of interest or by looking up a topic in the search box feature. I spent the majority of my time on the Blog page reading the opinions of Steven Young. In order to respond to his blog, I had to register my name and email address with the Huffington Post Website. I also discovered a countless number of bloggers which are linked to this website. I will stick to the postings of Steven Young for my summary/critique.
Steve Young has had a variety of articles posted on his blog page over the past week. The topics covered Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Fox News, Scooter Libby, the Iraq War, Bill O’Reilly and Oprah Winfrey. I focused on his story about Oprah inviting O’Reilly on to her show to discuss sexual predators and how we can protect our children from them. Young wrote that Oprah was being played by one of the most manipulative predators, Bill O’Reilly. He said that O’Reilly was just using her show to cover up negative comments he had previously made about the Kidnapping victim, Shawn Hornbeck. He thinks that Oprah gave him a pass on his past behavior and needs to confront him on these issues. Although Mr. Young’s opinions may have some truth to them, I think he missed the greater point of the liberal minded Oprah and the conservative O’Reilly, coming together to fight against child sexual predators.

When I did my research I looked at ALOT of pages. I search female pages from around the world(males too)to see what the differences might be. I saw this guy "Tom" on alot of the girls pages. It kind of gave me the creps to think he spends all his time becoming "pals" with all of these women from all over.I don't know why exactly, it was just creepy.
