You cannot "defraud" a person without their concent on this matter. People have a choice to take a sleezy blog poster at face value if they wish.

Go tell that to a judge after you cheat someone, then come back and tell us how it went...

 

See, that's a different situation, People are not wronged in any way other than given false information from an already sketchy media outlet. Nothing is physically taken away from the people reading the blogs (save for a few brain cells) Nobody loses anything in misinformation, and quite frankly, if they don't check more creadible sources, then thats their problem.
