Rush Limbaugh

For my analytic essay I will be following the posts and tweets of Rush Limbaugh.  I have searched both his Facebook as well as his Twitter and I have discovered that he would be a high quality persona to follow due to the frequency of his posts as well as the quality of said posts.  Rush Limbaugh has very strong views when it comes to politics and government.  Even if someone agrees with him on a subject that person would still be able to see that Limbaugh has an extremely honed in view on what is correct and that there is no sense in arguing with him.  His tweets and Facebook posts draw readers and sting those who oppose him.  Any person that puts emotion into his or her social media as well as draw emotion, positive or negative, out of his or her viewers is a suitable person to write an essay on.  One will never run out of the quantity of social media posts that the person gives out.  Also, one will be able to write in depth about the meaning of said posts because they usually have an underlying tone that is targeted towards someone.

The ability to change your image is very difficult, and it is almost impossible to do it around people you're close to.  Changing you're identity on social media such as Facebook or Twitter is the same way.  How I represent myself on Facebook or Twitter sticks.  I cannot just change my statuses and people just think that I'm permanently different because it would be like acting like an ass, someone calling you out on it, and you suddenly change into a whole new person when you really haven't.  My goal when I post on social media is to state something POSITIVE that happened to me while not offending anyone.  I never whine about negative things and I try my best to post everything else in a tasteful manner.  Two of my best friends were boyfriend and girlfriend and they broke up after a fight.  They both went onto twitter immediately and pretty much had an entire fight publicly.  The problem was that they are both great but their representation to everyone else says otherwise.  Personally if I was an interviewer I would probably not look at social media because it speaks lies both ways, positive and negative, and I would rather base my view of a person off of how I see them to be in person and not on a website.
