I personally try to avoid reading blogs when it comes to any information that's really relevant to my life. I read sports blogs from time to time, because they usually have people on location that are privy to some stories before all the other sportswriters are, but it isn't necessarily important information, even when the reporters make it out to be.

Blogs just aren't held to as high a standard as printed material, and because of that I question the quality of the information that I get from them, even if it's through a reputable source. They're certainly more participatory and democratic than printed news, since comments can usually be added underneath the stories, but I don't feel like that really enhances it for the most part. The people who comment usually don't have much to add, and when they do, it usually either isn't correct, or it is articulated horribly.

I'm not really into reading blogs.
