Source: "MSNBC via Drudge Report"
I have a stupid interest in celebrity gossip. So I was looking to see if there was any new dirt out there and I look at this site: http://gossip.celebhoo.com/gossip_feeds/feed2.html and what is their source for one of their stories?

Oscars: 'fahrenheit 9/11' Vs 'passion' Of Christ ...
MSNBC via Drudge Report Sun Oct 17 13:04:00 EDT 2004


Where is that ok? They acknowledge using the Druge Report as a source? I DO NOT GET why people think the Drudge Report is an acceptable source of ANYTHING.

Thanks. Rant over.

5. What I hate is when DUers just post the link
I rarely click on those posts, because he gets pay per page views.

2. Even CSpan's Washington Journal has taken to quoting Drudge
Edited on Sun Oct-17-04 05:06 PM by mandyky
I guess he's as correct as any other "mainstream" media outlets, is the logic. I disagree, and hope in a Kerry regime that Drudge loses his sources. Hard to tell, since he broke "monica-gate".

4. CNN has used Sludge on a few occasions
that's from what I have personally witnessed and I hardly ever watch CNN.
