HW 9: Punching Holes In Old Faded Mirrors

I have chosen to respond to "Punching Holes In Old Faded Mirrors", an interview with Arianna Huffington. I Found this article most compelling. I agree that gas-guzzling SUV's are linked to terrorism, a point that needs emphasizing since so many people believe otherwise. The "blogazine", or the Huffington Post, is a vital part of the media industry and will contribute to the national ebate on a wide range of issues. Huffington's theory that blogs have made a huge difference is extremely useful because it sheds light on the difficult problem of media's attention defecit disorder. The media can only focus on one story at a time while blogs can jump back and forth between topics. Huffington is surely right about the theory that if you put thoughts and ideas out there and they'll enter the cultural bloodstream. "You don't need to reach everbody in order to have an impact".
