MSNBC is supposedly going to be having blogs to replace their online discussion boards.

Blogâs the word at MSNBC.com. The Web news site will introduce a new Web logs section by the end of August, a move that will allow more editorial control over the opinionated ramblings of its former online chat boards. [CNET News.com]

Um, how does offering blogs give them more control over people's ramblings? I couldn't tell from this if the blogs are just for their commentators or for everyone, since they talked about using them to replace discussion boards.
