Blogs as sources

FYI in general, MSM blog entries are sometimes allowed as sources, see WP:V footnote 5. This has become common in this presidential election, e.g. MSNBC's FirstRead, the NY Times' The Caucus, and others of that ilk are okay to use. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:01, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Look at something like this. It's a straight NYT news story, not an opinion piece, but it happens to be filed under their politics blog. Same with this. There's no reason these can't be used as WP:RS. That's the trend that footnote 5 is covering. I'm not saying this with respect to any particular edit you've made, just as a general FYI, because some editors are under the impression that nothing ever associated with a blog is allowed.
