I heard this term recently attributed to the Huffington Post, "business up front, party in the back" was the meaning. A front-end that has the attributes of legitimate, credible first source news but on the inside a mash-up of opinion, discussion of views that is not necessarily news.
Dan Rather recently warned us that modern journalism has become a series of 'views-cast', and not 'newscasts.' My hunch is that with the ability of anyone to publish, comes the need to find something newsworthy. Not all opinions are news, and not all news needs to be sensational, controversial ... so please give us your best, not your worst.
