TheHill.com: "Dear Matt Drudge: Stop the race stories"

Glad someone is finally calling Matt Drudge out on this. (Drudge has a link to this editorial posted on his front page so expect a lot of frothy support for the Sludge Report in the comments section):

Dear Matt Drudge: Stop the race stories
By Brent Budowsky - 11/08/12 08:50 AM ET

Open letter to Matt Drudge, Election Day plus two

Dear Mr. Drudge:

I have written before that, whether I like it or not, you are the one of the most influential forces in modern media, possibly THE most influential single player. You tower above your peers in what you do. Despite my failed efforts, no liberal or Democrat has even tried to create a legitimate competitor to what you do. But with your influence comes power, and with power comes responsibility, and the Drudge Report in recent months has become inundated, and saturated and permeated with baiting stories about the president's race, and about blacks generally. These are beneath the standards you should set for yourself and your profession.....
