Mathew Ingram notes the rise of libel suits associated with blogging - which is to be expected, I suppose, as public figures attempt to deal with blogs the way they've always tried to deal with media: bask in the positive, lash out at the negative.

The difference being that most (not all, certainly) media outlets have a legal arm that handles that stuff, while individual bloggers just go broke. I suspect that we would see even more of these kinds of suits if it weren't for the kind of blowback that tends to happen when these cases get publicity.
