Why is the drudge report used as a source of information?
The site is not only boring, but also biased beyond compare. Might as well post story's about Kobe from Fox. Drudge is not a reliable source of information, he has an agenda.

I just don't get it, i've never gotten it. Why that site is touted by so many people, and not just here.

3. sometimes he has the cojones to report what all other news outlets spike..
If he did not break Monica - it would have stayed on newsweeks spike.

You may loathe him, but he has massive 'nads.

He does get boring between bombshells.

4. He has nads for reporting Monica?
That does not take nads. All that requires is being a low life scum repugnant.

Fuck Drudge. Where is his hard hitting reporting with all that Bush has done?

6. I think Monica's what started it
I imagine the story would've come out from some other source (I mean Starr was already invesitgating it). The problem is, his stuff is often flat-out wrong.

7. Yeah, right!
Since when does it take "nads" to do what you've been paid off to do?

Bombshells of propaganda - and that includes the lovely Monica!

Where did you find info on Drudge/Coulter/Ingraham? I've heard more suggesting that he's gay.

11. That's what David Brock sez
He also sez Drudge was repulsed in an attempt to get into his pants. I find this likely, but, frankly, the straights can keep the lying cheeseball.

10. Yeah, she is lovely.
I don't know why everyone called he ugly? I thought that she was extremely sexy. She can sew me a handbag anyday.


BTW: This does not detract from the fact that Clinton is a white trash idiot.

14. It's my impression
that he has access to a bunch of internal corporate news media bulletin/message boards and printers, and is basically publishing some one else's news gathering efforts first.

15.  Gives Fox "deniability".
"Drudge reports...(some kind of sleaze against a Democrat)". Fox reports it this way. But the "source" gets lost in the story. If it turns out to be another lie, Fox just points its finger, washes its hands, and moves on.
