Editing Andrew Sullivan (section)

==Blogging==
In late 2000, Sullivan began his blog, ''The Daily Dish''. The core principle of the blog has been the style of conservatism he views as traditional. This includes [[fiscal conservatism]], limited government, and classic libertarianism on social issues. Sullivan opposes government involvement with respect to sexual and consensual matters between adults, such as the use of [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]] and prostitution. He believes recognition of same-sex marriage is a civil-rights issue but expressed willingness to promote it on a state-by-state legislative [[federalism]] basis, rather than trying to judicially impose the change.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thestranger.com/2004-06-24/ex6.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040804191145/http://www.thestranger.com/2004-06-24/ex6.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 August 2004 |title=Give Federalism a Chance |publisher=The Stranger | last=Sullivan | first=Andrew |date=24 June 2004 |access-date=9 March 2009 }}</ref> Most of Sullivan's disputes with other conservatives have been over social issues and the handling of postwar Iraq.

Sullivan gave out yearly "awards" for various public statements, parodying those of the people the awards were named after. Throughout the year, nominees were mentioned in various blog posts. The readers of his blog chose winners at the end of each year.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Daily Dish Awards |url=http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/awards.html |author= Andrew Sullivan |work=The Atlantic |date=16 September 2008 |access-date=17 March 2017 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090305024827/http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/awards.html|archive-date= 5 March 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
* The [[Hugh Hewitt]] Award, introduced in June 2008 and named after a man Sullivan described as an "absurd partisan fanatic", was for the most egregious attempts to label Barack Obama as un-American, alien, treasonous, and far out of the mainstream of American life and politics.
* The [[John Derbyshire]] Award was for egregious and outlandish comments on gays, women, and minorities.
* The [[Paul Begala]] Award was for extreme liberal hyperbole.
* The [[Michelle Malkin]] Award was for shrill, hyperbolic, divisive, and intemperate right-wing rhetoric. ([[Ann Coulter]] was ineligible for this award so that, in Sullivan's words, "other people will have a chance.")
* The [[Michael Moore]] Award was for divisive, bitter, and intemperate left-wing rhetoric.
* The [[Matthew Yglesias]] Award was for writers, politicians, columnists, or pundits who criticised their own side of the political spectrum, made enemies among political allies, and generally risked something for the sake of saying what they believed.
* The "Poseur Alert" was awarded for passages of prose that stood out for pretension, vanity, and bad writing designed to look profound.
* The [[Dick Morris]] Award (formerly the [[Nicholas Von Hoffman|Von Hoffman]] Award) was for stunningly wrong cultural, political, and social predictions. Sullivan renamed this award in September 2012, saying that Von Hoffman was "someone who in many ways got the future right—at least righter than I did."

In February 2007, Sullivan moved his blog from ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' to ''[[The Atlantic Monthly]]'', where he had accepted an editorial post. His presence was estimated to have contributed as much as 30% of the subsequent traffic increase for ''The Atlantic''{{'s}} website.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/business/media/21atlantic.html |title=A Venerable Magazine Energizes Its Web Site |work=The New York Times |date=21 January 2008 |access-date=4 December 2013 |archive-date=3 September 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240903205015/https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/21/business/media/21atlantic.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
