The Blogsphere: Progressive Echo Chamber?

I don't think I'd agree with the assertion that "bloggers rely almost exclusively on well established, credible sources for their information," judging from all of the things I found about the Federal Reserve Bank, but The Blogosphere: Progressive Echo Chamber? makes some good points that I've been musing about for some time.

Basically, with conservatives in control of mainstream media, it's no wonder that they can pretty much put out whatever they want, and it gets repeated to much that eventually people think it's the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. When the corrections come out, they're only seen and heard by a small portion of those who heard the lie. And the liars win.

But with the blogosphere -- can't we find a different name?!? -- people can get the word out and pass it around.
