Blogging Code of Ethics

Blogs can be used for the common good or with malicious intent. There is a moral struggle going on with the blogosphere that the news distributors face as a constant battle. In some cases, the news distributors have gone to the extreme of too much filtering based on opinions, morality, and opportunity. The blogosphere is a new way to disseminate information without filters, but do we need to put up some filters to flush out the immoral, spam, and the illegal? Where do those filters begin and end? What is our moral duty?

How do we disseminate information from the blogosphere without filtering too much and without using the content to sway opinion or for malicious intent?
