Any difference blogging makes is to those who seek out information and in that respect is likely to result in providing a) another perspective and/or b) details previously unknown.
Blogs are not the mainstream news. The mainstream news has a far wider audience and is far more accessible. Bloggers are able to show up lazy journalists so they probably help sift the wheat from the chaff.
