| Drudge less than truthful about newspapers working on kerry story |
|
"Drudge claimed that half a dozen news outlets were investigating the allegations against Mr Kerry, but most of them denied doing so last night.
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.

Drudge is a twisted hack who makes shit up to get attention. I'm sure he said that newspapers and outlets were working on it because he probably called them and told them about it. The extent that they are looking into this bullshit is they picked up the phone when the moron called them.

| 9. Strictly speaking, Drudge doesn't make stuff up |
|
That job is left to the GOP operatives who feed him. He didn't make up "Sidney Blumenthal is a wife-beater"; John Fund did. Drudge is just a semi-literate little tool whom others find useful.

| 10. Remember Drudge is not a news reporter. He is a gossip reporter |
|
Sometimes true gossip, sometimes not.
