How many bloggers, or blogging collectives have the funds and infrastructure to really do investigative reporting? I think part of it is simply scale. In the golden age of journalism you could spend time and money to sit a reporter on a story, have them develop resources & connections, etc. Bloggers can't do that, they (as of yet) don't have the resources. Bloggers also have the impression of being biased, giving the medium. While I think the case for journalism being "objective" has been sold up the river (and in special thanks to corporate ownership in the place of private ownership of papers & news media).
Journalism is broken all over the place. It's as much perception of the medium as it is the practice.
Hopefully it'll shake out though, we're still at the beginning of this internet thing...
