Andrew Sullivan's blog is about the controversy that has been surrounding the South African championship runner, Caster Semenya, since she won the women's 800 meter. The purpose of his blog is to express that it doesn't matter if she is a man, the race is based on strength, intelligence, and social grace. The speaker of course, is Andrew Sullivan, and he does have ethos, the appeal of credibility, because he is one of the most famous bloggers in the United States and many take his opinion serious. The audience of this blog are college or educated individuals. What I like about Andrew Sullivan's blog is that he talks about subjects that are considered controversial and that he's not afraid to put his own opinions out there despite what others think.
