In this way, they will surely help their visitors and other people who rely on the internet for reasonable information.

They just want something hot/popular discussion that can drive more visitors into their site/s. The downfall of which is that they don't really verify the truthfulness of the news first before blogging it. Actually, that’s how bloggers work.

While I don't recommend unedited drivel, I do know that the blog allows individual entrepreneurs and companys to be more personal and when your prospects get to know you they are more likely to trust you and buy from you.

But is it true that we don't have time to think? Perhaps what we need to do instead is do a better job of filtering, eliminate what's not important so that we have time to think and act on those things that are.

Unless you want it thoughtful, too. I've worked in all-news newsrooms (where "right and fast" is the gospel). But I've also done weekly newspaper columns. And sometimes, the best perspective comes when one's subconscious has time to cogitate on connections that aren't obvious. It's the difference between strict reporting and analysis. Instant news (via blogging or the dreaded 24-hour cable news channels) is great for the facts, but not for analysis in most cases. Human biology and psychology has yet to keep up with technology.

Is that too much to ask? I believe blogging is simply exposing those who can or can't think fast and do it grammatically correct. I think it will also shift power to those people, and increase the importance of writing. But I also think it will change grammar. More and more people will make sentence structure work for them and their voice, and it will be accepted. In fact, I think it will be favored. I want it right and fast! Is that too much to ask?

Maybe that's a slight exaggeration but I assure you: only slight. Gettingthestoryoutnownownow has taken over vetting sources, confirming details, and proofreading. Because journalism is such a high-profile profession, it should be setting a good example. It definitely is not, and its bad habits will spread throughout our world like Ebola on steroids. We're doomed. (And Sean, I couldn't agree more. Best giggle I've had all day.)
