Forwarding

          In Harris's chapter, "Forwarding," he speaks of the concept that he has deemed "forwarding." To Harris, forwarding is the methods by which media and information are transfered from one person to another. He contends that each person who receives information then in turn recirculates the information by adding to it a new perspective or approach. Forwarding is the means by which all news is transmitted. When the government passes a law or is stuck in gridlock, that information is then forwarded by different news sites to readers and viewers, each source putting their own spin on the reason why Congress is gridlocked. We see this process of forwarding everyday when we read or watch news. FoxNews forwards information with a conservative spin, while MSNBC forwards information with a liberal spin. Forwarding is also utilized by more than just news site. People everyday pull information from a text and incorporate it into discussion and offering their own perspective. Forwarding is a method of expansion and exploring more realms of an already conceived idea or story. One example of a blog post that forwards information is here

This blog forwards information about studies done on the upper-class and their political ideologies. While no particular party affiliation is found through the studies, the author of this post makes the connection that the upper-class listens to the "Market Gods, or the intelligent human beings who invest their money in them." The author draws from previous information, analyzes it, and adds his own to the discussion.
