Just because mainstream media is utilizing blogging, does not make it so. It's all about adoption from a READERS standpoint. And as far as readers go we are still in the Early Adopter phase. Case in point, if you would ask 10 random people on the street in the U.S. if they're familiar with blogging, 8-9 or so would say yes. But when you ask the same people if they've ever actually read one or regularly read one themselves, the numbers drop to 2-3 out of 10.
