Hot Air is a conservative American political blog.〔http://hotair.com/about/〕 It is written by the pseudonymous Allahpundit, Ed Morrissey, Mary Katharine Ham, Erika Johnsen, and Jazz Shaw on the weekends. Hot Air was founded by Michelle Malkin, a conservative author and blogger, in 2006, taking over ''hotair.com'' from a defunct personal website. Although Malkin served as the publisher and CEO of Hot Air, she exercised little editorial control over the site's various commentators. Morrissey, a Roman Catholic, is the more socially conservative (though gay-friendly) of the two current bloggers, whereas Allahpundit is more libertarian and an atheist. Hot Air also carries posts from a selection of conservative and libertarian bloggers in its "Green Room." In February 2010, Salem Communications purchased Hot Air.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Exclusive: Hot Air Acquired By Salem Communications )〕 ==History== Malkin launched Hot Air on April 24, 2006. The sites's original logo showed an angry man videotaping himself while yelling at the lens. At the time of its founding, the site was to primarily feature "video-blogging" by Malkin, but this was eventually phased out in favor the more traditional written blog format due to lengthy production requirements for "video-blogging." When founding Hot Air, Malkin stated an intention to provide "content and analysis you can't get anywhere else on a daily basis–both on the blog and in our original video features." In 2008, Malkin recruited Ed Morrissey as AllahP's co-blogger. At that time Morrissey was a full-time, profit-making blogger at Captain's Quarters, which he folded in order to join the Hot Air team (though its archives are still available). Morrissey maintains the podcast that started at his original website ("The Ed Morrissey Show"). This is promoted at and embedded on the Hot Air website. In 2008, Hot Air added a separate site-within-the site called "The Green Room," inviting select professional and free-lance bloggers to contribute their posts. The Green Room provides bloggers with an opportunity to have their work distributed to the Hot Air audience. Green Room posts are often "promoted" to Hot Air's main page, in a fashion similar to that of other major political news/commentary sites such as the Daily Kos and RedState. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hot Air」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
