The answer is no, but they trust their own congressperson by electing them again and again.

Generalization of the theme by throwing all bloggers into the same basket doesn't give the study any credibility (ironic?). What I do believe is that trust and credibility do play an important role, and all journalists (whether mainstream or bloggers) have earned that trust by building a track record. Whether its by writing artcles for a national newspaper or posting to a blog, that track record is sensitive and once this trust is breached, its hard to recover. A blog is just the distribution mechanism, nothing more, nothing less.
