Drudge might be the best reporter over the past twenty years...
This guy gets more stories started than anyone I've ever heard of. The media should be embarrassed for continuously having to run with Drudge's headlines.

Don't they do their own investigative reporting. It's disgusting. I can just picture two or three people sitting in front of computers all day scanning for news stories. Do these people have no shame?

Of course, I'm sure Rove has Drudge's number on the top of his speed-dial list.

2. Of course he does. Matt Drudge is a former member of freerepublic.

3. We need a liberal Drudge.
Someone who can break these stories first and frame them right. I don't know that Drudge is such a great reporter, he just has no morals and will print anything, no matter how irresponsible. And he has a bunch of similarly amoral right wingers feeding him destructive gossip. Drudge is just a conduit for them.

4. Wouldn't it be pretty easy to destroy Drudge by feeding him BS stories?
He goes with such sh*t all the time, it seems like we could just flood him with BS stories until he just looks so stupid that he goes out of business.

90% of the shit he spews is BS anyway.

10. Drudge gets a lot of his stories wrong too.
He is a piss-poor reporter in my opinion.

11. Drudge is constantly throwing shit at the wall - some of it's gotta stick.
But not much of it has lately. Probably because he's too involved with his own stories.... like how exactly did he just happen to be present for that Cher "speech" in a gay club in south Florida?
