Bill Moyers: "As ownership gets more and more concentrated, fewer and fewer independent sources of information have survived in the marketplace; and those few significant alternatives that do survive, such as PBS and NPR, are under growing financial and political pressure to reduce critical news content and to shift their focus in a mainstream direction, which means being more attentive to establishment views than to the bleak realities of powerlessness that shape the lives of ordinary people."

Would it be safe to say then that the blog has begun to fill the void of non-mainstream news coverage? I'm beginning to think that the answer is yes, especially as the idea of "citizen journalists" becomes accepted by more and more people as a source of information. I'd love to hear what others think.
