Blogspam? I demand satisfaction!
Blogspam to me is just something that talks about the stuff at such a high level, there's no meat in it. Within that subset I'm talking about academic concepts where you can learn a lot more if you just read the papers.
When the press talks about an academic paper, they tend not to add much value in terms of actually explaining what's going on. I think people drawing their own conclusions from the original works is the better way to go. Obviously not everyone will agree with me here, but so be it.
