Oh Hitler, you are man known throughout the world. I guess it becomes perfectly acceptable to make jokes this far along down the road. I feel like any major event that happens people try to make jokes out of it. Some people even go as far as the next day and say, "Oh was that too soon." But Hitler comes up on a daily basis. 

In my politics and media class, my professor was ranting about how political blogs have become a huge part of journalism. Which is true, they really have. Many news sources such as cnn and the new york times have blogs featured on their websites. They are easy ways to find out information and viewpoints. Sometimes breaking news is presented in a blog or through social media first before it hits the news stations. But of course not everyone is going to agree with what someone writes. My professor said "They go from saying one thing wrong to being Hitler." But in order to be taken seriously political bloggers need to be edgy and not care what others have to say. They are out there and in your face about stuff. This can be good or bad because it could get someone recognized or provide bad publicity. 

Jon Stewart from the Daily Show has a funny clip about Hitler references in the media especially when it comes to politics. We have taken a horrible man and situation and compare it to everything in the world (yes some of it can be funny but how can we compare people to Hitler, that's just terrible!) Anyways here is the link to the daily show, it is quite comical : http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-june-16-2005/a-relatively-closer-look---hitler-reference
