I have seen lots of irrational connections made by bloggers.
That makes blogs a very unreliable source when it is about serious journalism.
It is far less reliable than serious scientific research.
It does not inspire mainstream media to publish an opposing view.

On a side note, in the case of Columbia Sacrifice conspiracy, it shows information on hypersonic flight, but it has a flaw. The author of the theory failed to understand how S-Turns are performed by space shuttle and why aerodynamics principles shows that a high angle of attack of 90 degrees while flying sideways is impossible to achieve. It is a minor detail that causes the whole conspiracy theory to crash. This is the reason why NASA or any serious scientist or expert in aeronautics do not even bother to refute this semi-blog theory.
