from sites like Wiki & news sites? I wanted to copy and paste little information from a website. Is it legal to do so? or can anyone tell me what can i post to my blog and from which websites?

What I have done when I needed to quote a content from a site is to enclose the exact content with quotation marks as well as the link for the source. This method seems to have satisfied both the source site and search engines. Some site specifically tell you that if you have to use any content, you must include the source website and or the author

It's legal as long as you cite the web page you got it from. If you don't, you can get into a lot of trouble for plagiarism. So, yes. It's legal.

Content from Wiki? It's legal as well but it's not accurate. Wikipedia is open for everyone to edit the page, even yourself. You don't need an account to edit it either. Anyone can put misleading information on it. My advice is to stay away from Wikipedia.
