Blog Fog is the pollution and obfuscation of news and debate to the point of public confusion or apathy via over-reliance on blogs, "tweets" and other "secondary" news sources.
Such sources are highly prone to distortion of facts, rumor propagation and incorrect reportage; yet are increasingly mixed into the source pool of major news organizations.
Incorrect information as well as intentional misdirection becomes part of the story and is difficult to remove from the public consciousness.
Blog Fog can be used to create doubt about the facts of any story simply by posting contradictory information. Then the very existence of contradictory information can be cited as proof that there is no right or wrong answer, that "both sides" could be right, and so a fog is created.
Blog Fog is similar to the "fog of war" in concept.

All these conflicting accounts of what happened were being spread around and the facts got lost in the blog fog.

Get the Blog Fogmug. Is when a Fellow Blogger, who Follows you, re-blogs or re-posts almost All Your Content in their feed from you.
Not necessarily a Bad Thing (they do appreciate your content) --- but it gets to be a bit deja vu when you are looking in your feed (if you follow them).

Get the s-blogmug. When you spend your time on a computer whining and bitching about things that you can’t change and your friends start wondering if you’re still sane.
“Where’s Chuck these days?”
“He spends his time bitch-blogging and he doesn’t even make sense any more.”
“Hey! You’re white as a ghost and how much junk food have you been eating?”
“Cool down. I just can’t let them get away with some of those lies.”
“Bitch-blogging, huh?"
“He spends his time bitch-blogging and he doesn’t even make sense any more.”
