Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Race to the Right
I can't comment on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. as I don't work for any of those companies. They have their own views on blogging... and besides, they are news media.  Wikipedia is not, it is an encyclopedia.  Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published sources as secondary sources guideline is pretty clear when it states "...personal websites, blogs, and other self-published or vanity publications should not be used as secondary sources."  They simply are not a reliable source.  blogs might be on the bleeding edge of information dissemination, but Wikipedia is a reactive media, not a proactive media.  It is an encyclopedia, not a news site; the purpose is not to "disseminate news".  If a blog is the primary or only source for information, it can't be seen as a |reliable source.  If a blog is simply reprinting what has been said elsewhere, then Wikipedia should be using the source feeding the blog (provided it is a reliable source of course) and not the blog.  Blogs generally have huge verifiability & POV  problems
