NewsBlaze is trying to break into the mainstream news scene to give people an unbiased view of the world. The founder NewsBlaze, Alan Gray, says, "We try to show the news as-is, without spin. Opinions writers are not allowed all-out attacks on their opponents - anger and displeasure can be shown without resorting to that." eWorldwire  says that “In the age of international media conglomerates, massive Internet search engines and unreliable blog sites, it can be difficult to find credible and unbiased news online. Relevant stories often receive little or no press attention because they conflict with the overall agenda of a large corporation.” NewsBlaze hopes to be the cure for the our populace.

Mashable, like Wired, provides the user with a wide array of material to view. They have an equal number, possibly more, of sections on their website. They gave me a view on both sides of the net neutrality argument.

 Thesis:

Net Neutrality is a necessity to the survival and positive progression of the internet.

Without at least some form of Net Neutrality ISP’s will run rampant through the streets of the internet charging fees left and right. The internet will transform into what TV is now. People will have to pay extremely high prices for every “extra” thing they want to view: be that Hulu, Youtube, and many other highly trafficked sites.
