Next thing you know, they'll start banning dwarf-tossing. Fascists.

MORE BLOGGING!
Since most blogs have built in commenting functions, if someone posts a news source, the "other side" can simply leave a comment with their response/defense.
But on a less lighter note...this is a bit scary, and it definately reeks of a death to freedom of the press, even financially speaking. Consider the potentially doubling of cost it takes to host a 'zine because you're stuck publishing all the responses to last issues news articles. Hell, that's why you have a "letters to the editor" section, which is limited! What I think this might signal is smaller and smaller online zines with fewer and fewer stories.
Heck, what it looks like, is the blogging community.
