i love drudge's "subtle" propaganda
i mean, it's everyday he does this, from his story selection to his story placement, to the pictures, to the quotes he isolates...

for today, (and i'm not posting this for you to go to his site and give him unneeded hits,) i can tell you he's got time and newsweek's mag. cover showcasing reagan in a cowboy hat, right beside of a picture of reagan with the pope.

umm, you trying to make a "subtle" connection there, matt? with our chimp in chief?

you dolt.

1. That...
And every "story" is about Reagan.

At least he's running more than one story. Yesterday he had only one: "The Gipper Is Gone."

2. Cowboys and Cowpokes
:puke:

Reagan was no more of a cowboy than Bush, except that at least he knew what to do with a horse -- Hollywood-style.

4. Its not subtle, but it is propaganda.
At least he doesn't pretend to be "fair and balanced"

6. "Subtle" in the condescending sense it takes a fool to know one
I wonder if there are still readers who don't get what Drudge is really trying to do. When, for example, on the day of the last midterm elections, he showed a full page photo of an unflattering group of black voters standing before a new automatic voting machine. The caption read: "May the best candidate win."

7. More blatant than subtle...
but Drudge is fun...much as I disagree with his views, he is a riot. I look forward to his sunday night radio show. He inspired me to learn html and create the Sludge Report to send him up.
