Now this is an interesting wrinkle. All of a sudden there may be some actual regulation on blogs and the information and insights that they provide. There are parts of me that are hot and cold on this issue. There are certainly free speech implications, but some of these blogs reach thousands and thousands of readers daily. At what point are these people to be held to account in terms of the information they present, and wether or not that information has been validated. I personally have seen gross distortions on blogs (as I am sure that everyone has), and that seems fairly mild for someone's personal blog in a dark corner of the web, but there should be some ethical regulation out onto those that seek to present themselves are reporters of the news.
