Maybe it depends more on what the definition of 'facts' are. I would assume anything of public record ex. Elections held on this date, census data, etc is fair game. But since we all know how 'facts' can be contorted and spun, you stand a chance of reporting hearsay I would make a mention of the source as often as possible. The phrase "as reported by" is a good, good friend! Nazaar,

When writing a blog entry and I quote from a newspaper, magazine or columnist who is reporting news or facts is citation needed?

If yes, how to cite a source in a blog? What is the proper way giving credit or showing that the quote in not mine?
