					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure that blogs need to become a &lt;i&gt;news&lt;/i&gt; source, though.  I could see a need for news filter blogs (which is what I take Sullivan and InstaPundit to be).  But I&#039;d rather see a group of blogs develop into something like a polyglot of editorial pages.  

Perhaps the big boy blogs will provide cover for a bunch of well-read but niched think-blogs to develop.  Sullivan and IP are nice and all, but I rarely check them because it&#039;s rarely anything I don&#039;t see on the news sites I regularly check.  When I check a blog, I want to find something I &lt;i&gt;couldn&#039;t&lt;/i&gt; find on the big sites.  

Plastic.com might be a good metaphor (if you could blog-ify it).  MAYORBOB is irreplacable, even though any one of us could (theoretically, anyhow) find the links he posts in his stories and comments.  More important (to me) than the discussion threads of major news stories are the threads for less known stories.  Corporate media is too uniform; Plastic, however, has a habit of pulling important stories off the back pages.  Blogs should do the same.  Context and foresight are everything.  Big news sites rarely provide either.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;There was a day when the net was considered an unreliable news source; now it&#039;s the primary news source for millions.&quot; I feel that change was brought in great part by the commercialization of the Web; being able to read news from the &lt;b&gt;NY Times&lt;/b&gt; and the &lt;b&gt;Washington Post&lt;/b&gt; must have encouraged less computer-savvy people to get their news from the net. And after publishing for several years, sites like &lt;b&gt;Salon&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Slate&lt;/b&gt; have also gained that credibility.&lt;p&gt;I guess it will take several years for blogs to become a news source among the non-initiated, too. And the best-known bloggers (InstaPundit, Sullivan, etc.) are gonna be the ones to get most of the attention. Kinda like today, isn&#039;t it?&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
