REPORT DAMNS POLITICAL BLOGS screams the Guardian:

"In the frequently damning report, the society says political blogging is still in its infancy. While it still has great potential to engage the electorate, the authors say, blogging forms a very minor part of public debate."

So what the report (which summarises a survey of eight - EIGHT! - people) actually says is: there's not much of it, but it could be great. Hardly "damning".
