The Point has reached a few milestones and so the blog-MSM collaboration history is furthered, at least beyond the Wide Open.
Anastasia Pantsios writes up a nice review here in the Cleveland Free Times about the lefty-righty political blog:
One of the hardest things to find these days is a partisan political discussion that doesn’t involve distortions, exaggerations, lies and personal attacks. That’s why the Akron Beacon Journal’s political blog, The Point, started in January as part of its newly launched politics.ohio.com[/url] Web site, is so refreshing. Bloggers Kyle Kutuchief and Ben Keeler – the former offering the liberal point of view, the latter, the conservative – trade insights on topics of local, state and national interest, free of condescension, cheap shots and name-calling. Their joint posts on topics such as the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War and Barack Obama’s speech on race are thought-provoking, whichever side you’re on. And their views are anything but knee-jerk. Keeler, for instance, agonizes over the “murkiness” of the Second Amendment and the value of sane gun control.
I’d urge you to read all of Pantsios’ piece, as well as The Point and Kyle’s blog, The Chief Source (he’s the lefty) and Ben’s blog, the Keeler Political Report (Ben is also one of my three co-editors for the Carnival of Ohio Politics and I’m still trying to figure out just how to get back at him for the terrible picture he posted of Nancy Pelosi last week).
Mazel Tov, fellas.
