Blogs are self-editiing. If someone blogs a lie or a story incorrectly, an army of "editors" expose it ...

Not necessarily.

FR is no blog, and has no editors as such, but talk sh!t here... and 100 people who know better will set you straight in a heart beat!!!

after that, it's Kitties and Lightning...

Not necessarily.

Actually yes. When blogs post bogus claims, other bloggers start to fact check and then posts pointing out the errors spread like wild fire through the blogosphere.

See blogs such as Michelle Malkin, Expose the Left, Power Line, Instapundit to name a very few.
