i think most people who post on this part forum are familiar with the drudge report.

its owner provides very little of his own content, and instead links to anti-democrat news stories, and others issues that will get the conservative base riled up. drudge shot to fame in 1998 when he 'broke' the monica lewinsky scandal.

he gets around 3 million unique visitors a day, but wields considerable power in political and media circles.

the thing is, however, that so many of his stories are either misleading or just flat out wrong. if he were a 'old' media company, he would have been out of business a long time ago.

for example, his screaming headline today says that bill ayers and jeremiah wright are on the white house visitors list.

and it's true, they are.

but they're not the same bill ayers and jeremiah wright that caused trouble for obama during last year's campaign.


so, what do you think of drudge and his website? is he a journalist or a muckraker?
