The Nielsen-Hayden blog way beats mainstream newspapers for reliability regarding science fiction. WP:RS is a good idea but its present state is the product of obsessives unable to tolerate the concept of editorial judgement being required.
That's why it's hard to propose a rule based simply on the thing being a blog.
I prefer to look at this by questioning what the blog is being used for, and I think it's much the same as the way hearsay evidence is approached in a court: material in blogs is great for showing what the author thinks, but it's no good as a source for the facts that the material asserts.
