One of the favorite things for people here to do is to question sources. Even after all the lies they've been told they seem to believe that if it comes from the MSM it must be true. Then there are blogs.
Blogs can be written by most anybody. The thing to do is look to see who it is that is writing the blog you are reading. Sometimes it's investigative reporters who have gotten disgusted with the inability to actually tell the truth in their articles if they stay with the MSM. Sometimes it's people with very strong credentials who have actually been a part of a story by either personal observation or perhaps whistle blowing, having been on the inside. Sometimes it's a person who with very strong credentials in a particular field that they're reporting about. And yes, sometimes it's a person who just copies whatever everybody else says and doesn't have any of their own facts. You do have to pay attention to what is being written (no matter the source) and check it out in several directions if possible.
Sometimes it's even a person who has gotten something radically wrong in one case and gets it very accurate in the next one. It's not a good idea to arbitrarily dismiss useful information because it doesn't come from the MSM.
