Blogs are often self-serving or a platform for fringe
opinions.
People using self-published sources are usually out to promote their opinion
instead of offering an unbiased article. These rules seem pretty clear and
non-contradictory to me.
And often they are part of the reporting of a reputable news
organization. Self-published blogs should be treated like
self-published books, news blogs from a reputable news organization
should be treated like other material from that reputable news
organization.
Sorry for the hijack, but I just keep seeing the simplistic
formulation of blog=bad over and over again, either by people who
parrot policy and can't distinguish the two, or by people who use
policy to further their agendas.
