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.....

"You tower above your peers.." Not hard to tower over the f'ing gutter, is it?

But at least SOMEONE is finally stating the obvious.
