Well, this is why you're seeing blogs get syndicated on sites like the NYTimes and WaPo. The blogs get distribution and the sites get to have coverage they otherwise wouldn't.
This is why the whole "the Times should curate all the news that's fit to display" isn't the same as saying "the Times should be a Digg clone". Jane Galt became Megan McArdle on the Atlantic. Marginal Revolution has great analysis. Grist does this for environmental news. They all have their biases - but that's OK.
