Drudge

[TimeToGo]

Some real slimy stuff on Drudge today (I know, what else is new?).

I think we should make sure he realizes that there are people who watch his slanting of news selection and headline writing. He has a right to do what he wants, I suppose, but we can call him on it.

I email him whenever I see something like that -- or I put it in his suggestion box.

THE MILITARY
U.S. Has Contingency Plans for a Draft of Medical Workers
By ROBERT PEAR


WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 - The Selective Service has been updating its contingency plans for a draft of doctors, nurses and other health care workers in case of a national emergency that overwhelms the military's medical corps.

In a confidential report this summer, a contractor hired by the agency described how such a draft might work, how to secure compliance and how to mold public opinion and communicate with health care professionals, whose lives could be disrupted.

On the one hand, the report said, the Selective Service System should establish contacts in advance with medical societies, hospitals, schools of medicine and nursing, managed care organizations, rural health care providers and the editors of medical journals and trade publications.

On the other hand, it said, such contacts must be limited, low key and discreet because "overtures from Selective Service to the medical community will be seen as precursors to a draft," and that could alarm the public.

2. Don't

When you email him and tell him how poor you think he is doing I bet he gets a kick out of it and therfore wants to do it more often. If you kept it to yourself and did not let him know that something ticked you off he would have no idea what worked or did not work. I say just keep a low profile and let him do his thing without any feeback. As soon as he gets feedback he prolly says "wow, this is working". IMHO of course.

7. A-List info on Matty Boy....

Drudge, Matt. FOD and egg fetishist who's done great damage to his gay brothers and sisters by aiding the cause of fascists, intolerant orthodox Christians, and conservative scum. Ethically challenged hypocritical lackey and moral catamite to right-wingers. We remember you from the old days, Matt-o, and when you fall back to obscurity we'll be waiting with sharpened knives.

His latest headline is so typically scummy misleading. It reads "VOTE FOR DRUGS: KERRY/EDWARDS PASS OUT 'PILL BOXES'" and links to this pic - http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/041018/480/flwl10610181557 Last i checked pill boxes are not controlled narcotics.
