"Blogs are dead. Write a book."

Looking for a blog with a temper? Rant-a-view has razor-sharp wit and controversial topics. This blog is for readers with chutzpah!

Rant-a-view is a blog that very simply has done what its title says it does, it rants. From angry outbursts about Obama’s unfulfilled promises to the conniving ways of women, Rant-a-view has most certainly got a temper. The views of the bloggers are candid and unpretentious, and although objectivity may not be an evident characteristic of this blog, it was never their intention.

Rant-a-view opposes the way media has been used in so many instances to confuse, indoctrinate and pacify the public who greedily drink it up without a second thought as to who the source may be or what the effects of such media content are. Alternative sources of information are presented by the bloggers of Rant-a-view to counteract this kind of mainstream media, and as they have said themselves, they are in a fight against the large corporation’s dominance and control over almost all facets of the media.

Yet, even with their antagonism towards conventional or mainstream media, rant-a-view has managed to keep the tone of their blog somewhat upbeat, making sure their temper has not turned into a forum for sulking students. They have done this by merging their dislikes with razor-sharp wit and an almost satirist sense of humour. Simple posts such as "blogs are dead. write a book" are what keep readers coming back for more, thankfully, as without it this blog would have become cynical rather than controversial.

This blog will appeal to others who are weary of the clichéd writing styles of today and the news agencies whose agendas are not always to bring the public unbiased, well-researched news. This blog is for readers who are as spirited as its writers are, and for those with real chutzpah!
