Political Blog?

A political blog is a common type of blog that comments on politics. Inliberal democracies the right to criticize the government withoutinterference is considered an important element of free speech.

In other jurisdictions bloggers use the uncensored nature of the internetto bypass state controlled news media but as a result may findthemselves persecuted.
