I can’t imagine getting all, most or even some ‘news’ from ‘blogs. No matter how biased, corrupt and incompetent the major news sources are, amateur ‘blogs are far worse. Besides, when 90% of their bandwidth is taken up with either photos of Kerry doing something dorky, or Bush juxtaposed with monkeys how useful are they really? They do play a role in keeping major media honest. How would Rather-gate have unfolded without ‘blogs? I imagine the result would have been the same; it just would have panned out over the course of a couple of weeks, not days.
