I JUST emailed Matt Drudge... with a suggestion
Subject: Please give this article the attention it deserves

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041105/D865R1DO0.html

Would you please put that in BIG BOLD LETTERS on your front page INSTEAD of the article on Americans flocking to Canada??

Thank you very much.

-Sam

1. interesting. I gave him a suggestion before the election
to GO FUCK HIMSELF. It was quite cathartic. You can say whatever you want as well, but it's probably just best to leave these idiots alone. Why increase their profile?

3. Nice..but I'm afraid I don't understand
A lot of people here hate Drudge report. why? Is he rightwing biased like the major media networks? I've never really been to his site so I can't make a judgment based on personal experience.

I figured regardless, I'd write him and tell him to take down that stupid Americans flock to Canada article..who gives a shit??? He needs to put the MAIN COURSE up in bold letters

10. Is Drudge biased?
His site isn't just biased, it's an unabashed right-wing propaganda outlet. Sort of like WorldNet Daily or Newsmax.

15. Could you please back that up w/ proof?
I know a bunch of left-leaning people who think Drudge is OK. I'd like some proof so I can convince them to stop going there.

18. We could
But we chose not to waist our time. If they can't see the bias from reading the page-- and pay special attention to how often a negative story about Democrats or a positive one about Republicans is wrong-- then no evidence we provide will help. Drudge is his own anti-Drudge.

Unfortunately, conservatives aren't very good at understanding facts and evidence, as can be demonstrated by polls demonstrating they still think Hussein had WMDs and connections to al-Qaeda. So why bother?

26. Would you also like some evidence that water is wet?
I could attempt to prove that to you if you like. No offense meant, it's just a waste of time.

27. Hey...no offense taken. Being somewhat of a political newbie, I'm
used to being picked on around here while on my path of learning.

24. Two words:
Alexander Polier.

That should be enough proof.

13. I usually fire off an email


every now and again calling drudgette a "one man internet freak show."



The big question is what drudgette is going to do now that bush has made gays a target?


Oh the conflict the poor sap must be in!

2. Yet "Americans Flocking to Canada"
Is suggestive of the immagration from Germany as Fascism swept over the country and crept into power.

I think it's a hoax. I read something on it a day or two ago.

20. I wondered
about its accuracy, or how it could even be determined. Still...it looks believable. I bet it's not far off.

11. BOYCOTT DRUDGE!
It's time to stop supporting the likes of Drudge! I have been guilty of sneaking over there just to see what's up, but in this new paradigm I am vowing to boycott all the enablers of the right wing. And he is one of the very worst!

Take him off your Favorites.! Unbookmark him! Adieu, Drudge....we aren't going to give you any more hits so you can jack up your advertising rates!

Take your little twirling alarm light and put it where the sun don't shine!

22. I've only ever gone there by clicking links from DU!!
Stop posting links to Fudge from DU and I will forget that he even exists. DU is promoting Drudge on a daily basis!

28. Why are you e-mailing a conservative neocon site? That just
gives him the ammo he needs to fight it.
