Writing done by someone who makes a living at writing does not guarantee the accuracy of the information
I can see some merit in the statements made by Bonne Erbe. However, it should be noted that there are times when people posting to blogs have included information that was either presented incorrectly, or omitted entirely, from news outlets that were thought of as journalistic and professional. I've used my own blog a time or two in order to correct material that was printed in a local newspaper. Integrity in writing is a lot more important to some of us than whether the person writing is paid or not for work.
