Anti-America: A Blog

This is a user generated Blog (created on this site) about America. http://bens-blogg.blogspot.com/. The title is 'Bens Anti-American Blog' and it is produced by somebody from Finland. The blog is a mixture of images and textual blog posts, all offering what is a negative viewpoint of what it means to be an American and what American's are capable of.
The images show negative actions committed by the Army, for example, the degrading treatment of Iraqi prisoners photographed by Lynddie England and Charles Graner. Obviously, this is extremely negative and would be deemed a disgrace by almost anybody who see's them. However, there is an innate problem with using such images to categorise America as 'evil' or 'bad'. To judge an entire nation over the actions of the minority is an extreme over generalisation and can be considered discrimintory.
The blog also tends to be negatively bias, concentrating on all the bad parts of a very vast and diverse nation. Something which would not offer a true reflection of the United States and the people that live there. The negatively bias nature of the blog because evermore obvious to me, with this particular post:

"Thursday, January 08, 2009: A note to SA
A friendly note to my reader SA. Could you perhaps write your comments in English and not Hungarian so that also our non educated Americans could understand what you write."

This statement indicates more of a hatred of everything American that would almost defintely cloud the judgement and reliablity of the blog that is being produced. How can you deem something credible if arguements are unsupported and comments such as the aforementioned are used as a defensive and offence mechanism.
However, there are some positive elements to this blog. It's judgement can be considered more refined that most views of America as the points of view and the posts offered are not affected by the more positive images given to us in the Media. For example, television programmes such as Glee, where everyone is seen to be given an equal oppotunity. The creator of the blog also appears to be aware of the 'falsely obvious', this is in relation to the extract taken from the blog below:

"Tuesday, November 25, 2008: Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving will be celebrated this week in the USA. Thanksgiving is the feast when the Americans remember the biggest genocide in world history, when the sinister Americans brutally killed 8 million native Americans."
