I attributed some opinions I forwarded to a newsblog, since that is where they came from. There's a world of difference between saying "This is what this newsblog is saying about things", and saying "These are the facts (which I got from a blog)." Or asserting the blog's facts without any attribution, as though you knew them to be facts. I am sure you can appreciate the difference.

I usually post excerpts from blogs to show what the ebb and flow of opinion in the world is doing, not to rely on them as a source of facts.
