"Blog Post 6 - A press sphere" posted on October the 20th is the blog I'm going to counter in this post. I prefer countering to forwarding for this post since I am revising my own post and, well, it will be more interesting to counter.

On the previous post, I had written, "The New York Times is thorough while both Hot Air and Rotten Tomatoes are not. The Times’ purpose is to inform about everything and is therefore very thorough about the topics it pulls up. It has its own sections of traditional news, news that you expect to hear (example: global events), and it has its fair share of entertainment news that includes all topics from politics to books to music and movies. Hot Air and Rotten Tomatoes are specific. They address political and movie issues respectively."

In this post, it is now clear to me that what I had written before was wrong. Completely wrong in one sentence. I wrote that Hot Air and Rotten Tomatoes are not thorough as compared to the New York Times. I now have a different opinion which is that Rotten Tomatoes and Hot Air are just as thorough as the New York Times. I suspect the reason I now have this change of opinion is because I had barely looked into the two blogs before I wrote that original post. Now after following the blogs for two weeks, I see that both the blogs are just as focused as the New York Times. It is true that both blogs were created for a singular, focused purpose - such as movies. However, for the New York Times, it was way more general just because of all the topics are covered. In some ways, I can even say that the blogs are more thorough since they go in deep into their particular areas while the New York Times scratches (though quite deep) many more topics.

Hopefully I did this assignment right ...
