Unproving the unproven by Drudge

[Jersey Devil]

Drudge said yesterday: A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

Some responses:

Leonard Downie, executive editor of The Washington Post, mentioned by Drudge, said: "This is the first we've heard that we're working on a story that we're not working on."

A reporter with Time magazine, also cited by Drudge, said that the weekly magazine was as puzzled by the story as the rest of the world.

Sources within the Clark campaign blamed Republican "dirty tricks", and gave warning that it was a taste of things to come. "They are just throwing mud," he said."

3. By throwing out this filth, Drudge has accomplished the GOP objective

It doesn't matter that it is not true. People who want to believe it, some here on DU, will run with it.

Welcome to the 2004 Presidential election campaign!

6. Funny when Drudge attacked Dean

and I made many similar points as in this thread about his reliability I was told to stop attacking the messanger by more than a few Kerry supporters. Funny how that works out. You are right now and I was right then.

8. Never cite Drudge is my motto

I don't care what candidate he's spewing about... he's full of crap.
