Regarding Matt Drudge:

[blondeatlast]

He's a RW shill

with no credibility in my eyes.

The man has even less credibility and or ethical obligations than FAUX News--no editor, no board of directors, no paying readers. Seriously. Less cred than FAUX. Think about that for a moment.

Yes, he occasionally breaks a story a few hours ahead of the big guys--but we don't seem to notice how often he breaks a story the big guys don't report--because they can't support it. They have an ethical and even legal obligation to sit on it until they can--and sometimes that means forever.

There are a lot of great sources on the web to get news we won't get anywhere else. Let's not legitimize this hackneyed self-promoter.

This post is--you guessed it--inspired by the John Edwards' house RW-BS-TP, but it could be about any of a dozen other issues at any given time.

3. what are you going to tell me next?

That Fox news is not 'fair and balanced'?

Sorry, as a radio advertiser used to joke with me, 'there are some people who still do not know that Lincoln was shot'.

From the liberal oasis under the heading 'who needs drudge?' is listed:
Buzzflash, common dreams, cursor, Drudge retort, easter lemming, intl-news, make them accountable, the raw story, smirking chimp, truthout, unknown news, usnewslink, and working for change.

Maybe DU's LBN forum could be added. I have never liked the title of that section, because even if all those other websites did not exist, I still would not need Drudge or any other RW shill.

4. I go over there sometimes .......

then cut and paste a bunch of crap and SPAM his Anonymous Tips section.

6. I have the odd feeling

that he will swing AGAINST Bushco if the juiciest news bits make that more attention getting. Only time will tell. And yes, that's a negative comment on his motivation.
