When is a blog not a blog, but rather a giant slap in the face for the true authors who have spent time and effort only to see their work being blatantly ripped off?
There are blogs and there are blogs. A good blog contains the original thoughts and work of a writer or a group of writers. It can be observations on pressing current matters, on a particular interest or pursuit, it could be a diary (or log hence web blog and then blog) or it can be rather more philosophical.
Other blogs are just scrapbooks of other people's work, sometimes just blatantly lifted from other blogs. Not to comment or to include a large amount of original work just makes that plagiarism. And it's wrong to take any credit for it, especially if the original work isn't credited.
