RedState is an American conservative political blog. The site is a subsidiary of Salem Communications. Erick Erickson is the Chairman of the Board and Editor-in-Chief of RedState. At the time of the purchase, Eagle Publishing agreed to let RedState maintain its editorial constructs as a collaborative blog. According to Erick Erickson, RedState is conservative in the primaries and Republican in general elections. It was the first major blog to endorse Republican candidates Marco Rubio and Doug Hoffman. Its front page is written largely by volunteer contributors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 The site's editor-in-chief, Erick Erickson, was a political contributor on CNN from 2010 to 2013; he joined Fox News as a political contributor in 2013. == History == RedState was founded in 2004 as a 527 group by conservative bloggers Joshua Treviño, Ben Domenech,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://heartland.org/benjamin-domenech )〕 and Mike Krempasky. In March 2006, co-founder Domenech was hired as a blogger by the ''Washington Post Online'', but was criticised for alleged plagiarism in some of his prior writings during college. At the end of his first week, Domenech resigned, eventually admitting to plagiarism. He took a leave of absence from RedState at the time, from which he returned in July 2006 under a new handle (his own name). On November 16, 2006, former congressman Tom DeLay posted a diary, and he has followed up multiple times. Several other members of the House of Representatives and the US Senate are regular diarists at RedState. On December 20, 2006, RedState announced its sale to Eagle Publishing, Inc., effective January 2, 2007. Erick Erickson remained Editor-in-Chief. On July 12, 2008, RedState launched a new version of its site, called RS3, introducing new features such as the ability to organize contributor and user diaries by state; action centers allowing users to take action related to emerging political issues; links to share posts via other networking sites such as Facebook, Digg, and MySpace; and easier searching between related content on the Internet. On August 13, 2011, Texas Governor Rick Perry announced his candidacy for President of the United States at RedState's 2011 RedState Gathering. The Austin American-Statesman reported that this was due to the growing influence of the site and Erickson. RedState has also created numerous offshoot blogs on specific political topics, including a site opposed to then Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Arlen Specter and a site supporting the judicial nominees of President George W. Bush. In January 2014, Eagle Publishing was acquired by Salem Communications.〔( Salem Communications Buys Eagle Publishing )〕 The site is run and operated by Erick Erickson. 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「RedState」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
