Maybe I spent too much time editing history articles, where the source credibility matters, but accepting blog/forum/usenet posts as valid sources would be a great mistake, IMO.
A one-size-fits-all approach to what constitutes a reliable source is exceedingly foolish. The sourcing needs to match the subject matter.
(The news media is not "reliable". It's "easily verified", which is not the same thing at all. Many blogs are a hell of a lot more reliable for factual information than many newspapers.)
