Don't believe a word that Drudge says.
If he tells you that the sky is blue, look out of a window -- it's probably changed.

2. There is one circumstance when you can believe Drudge.
When he puts out a very negative story against a Pug or neocon, you can be sure that the story is about to break in a mainline source. He piles on to get credit for a "scoop" by reading the NYT web edition (or maybe getting a story from a mole) & publishing their headlines before the hardcopy edition comes out.

6. Here's what you can do! Next time Drudge...
has a 'developing' story, just pull up news.google.com and search the keywords in his blurb, viola! Someone's got the story out already!

3. What happened to that Kerry affair!?!?
That blew up in his face. Even after being on Hannity's radio show talking it up for a good while. Hannity: "We'll keep it touch, and follow this story closely."

And the AWOL stories, Drudge keeping framing them as "Big Media attacks poor old Bushie again."

Drudge is slime.

9. Is this like super double secret probation sir?
If so I confess that I was wrong about dredge being right *once* in his life.

10. I'm curious...
do you think this numpty is the same one that appears each night about this time or are several of them so desperate for intelligent discourse that they are just drawn here of their own volition?Is it just shift change at Free Republic?
