10 Totally Fake Stories Bannered By Drudge This Year

Matt Drudge continues to capture the attention of the polical media “because of his brand recognition and, in 2012, because he has a direct line to the Romney campaign.”

But Drudge has used this position to continually mislead the public and the media. Tuesday night’s “bombshell” was just one of many recent examples. Here are 10 completely fake banner stories by Drudge in 2012:

1. Obama proposed to “repeat” auto bailout for every industry in America

2. Obama “admits fabricating” his girlfriend in his memoir

3. New evidence that Obama was “born in Kenya”

4. Obama is giving out free phones

5. Condoleeza Rice at the top of Romney’s list for Vice President

6. Sherrif Joe Arpaio has uncovered evidence that Obama’s birth certificate is fake

7. David Petreaus under consideration for Romney’s Vice President

8. Biden proposed a “global tax”

9. Obama had time to meet with a pirate but not Netanyahu

10. Explosive new video of “race speech” will expose Obama
