I am not so sure the blogs are a great way to spread things around. Whether its television, news papers, magazines, or blogs, it largely depends on the credibility of the person "blogging" or reporting. If general shinseki or general casey "blog" their idea for Iraq, it is going to hold a significant level above "dos equis" ideas for Iraq.

Credible blogs could be a good answer, but just random guys giving their opinion just doesn't seem like it would be affective to me.
