Critique: CBS Atlanta website

the website makes it easy to access the news you want with stories and videos. The headlines are listed at the top, under that it has the weather and news stories from CBS and CNN. There I read a headline that caught my eye and made me click on it to read more. The title was "Stephen Colbert super PAC raises $ 1 million". When I was watching Stephen Colbert's show on comedy central I thought he was just starting a super PAC to satire on the presidential campaign financing laws, but he actually raised a million dollars. I wonder what he's going to do with that money?

Man shot in bear hunting accident

While two men Conrad Masse and Wayne Goff were hunting a bear in Albany VT, on October 20, 2011 Masse fired three shots at the bear with one shot hitting a tree, one shot hitting the bear and one shot hitting Goff in the mid section, hitting his pelvic area.

The two men were using bear hounds to chase down the bear while they tracked the dogs with radio telemetry and GPS. They stopped on Urie rd. hoping to get in front of the bear and wait for it to cross the road. Masse dropped Goff off at one end of the road and drove 541 feet down the road to wait. The bear ran in between the two men and when Masse opened fire he accidentally shot his hunting partner. Goff was taken to North Country Hospital then transferred to Dartmouth Medical Center. Goff has been release4d from the hospital and is in a stable condition.

Masse was given a citation to appear in Orleans Superior Court on February 28, 2012 for charges of aggravated assault. He was also issued fish and game tickets for shooting from the road, having a loaded rifle in his vehicle and not having proper display of permits for the bear hounds.

Blog Critique: Tosh.0 Daniel Tosh

Blog Critique: Tosh.0
http://tosh.comedycentral.com/blog/tag/daniel-tosh/

I chose Daniel Tosh's blog because most other blogs I found were boring or not up to date. The Tosh.0 blog might not be the best blog and doesn't cover any important topics but I really like the comedy central show Tosh.0 and knew there would be funny and entertaining comments to read. Im not into blogging this is the first time I have ever really read or used blogs. The blog is very popular with many comments posted by fans even though the show is on a break between seasons. While the show is off the air the blog  posts weekly videos of people auditioning to host an episode of Tosh.0. At the end of the last season Tosh told people to send in audition tapes for a contest. The weekly posted video brought up a lot of discussion with people giving feedback on the audition or just making fun of the person. The reason I like this blog is because its not to serious, its humorous and allows me to laugh and shows funny videos or posts from twitter that people have said about Daniel Tosh. The one downside to this blog is that its mostly filled with fans of the show commenting on stupid things or just arguing with other fans that have posted on the blog. The Tosh.0 blog is posted by Carly Hallam every few days with entertaining videos, blogs and updates on what Tosh is doing while on break from the show, if you like the show Tosh.0 you will most likely find the blog funny and entertaining.
