What a fricking PUKE. I'd support public castration for Drudge.

Matt Drudge blames the kids for Predatorgate: They are 16 and 17 year old beasts
Audio and transcripts HERE

I don't know this Matt Drudge. I hear so many bad things about him that I chose not to read him! Velveeta is quite sensitive and has at times, acquired the vapors from such uncivilities the likes of Drudge, Coulter, Rush, and Savage.

Never listen/read/look at them.

I highly recommend it. Though in order to keep my head somewhat above sand and see the world, I depend on people like you zat, to keep me informed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVERY!!

pleased at your confirmation of my prescience

just yesterday i predicted the

drudge fudge sludge nudge.

He's the proprietor of the Drudge Report, which has been riding on the laurels of "breaking" the Monica Lewinsky story for about a decade now. He's usually a RW shill with a very close connection to the Wh spin machine, and the LW doesn't like him very much for that reason.

Dumbass statement. Don't follow drudge for same reason don't follow sites like truthout. Partisan bias abounds with them.

Matt Drudge is just a sad characture at this point. Apologist first class.

While Drudge picks interesting, water-cooler-type discussion topics and only provides links to the actually stories on other's websites (typically news gathering sites such as newspapers) its silly to label him as a conservative puppet. While he certainly at times might allow his own leanings to make sure one side of a story is heard, I see him as pretty much covering news much more than he is providing commentary.

Myself, I see another more worrisome situation that his website brings about.

The bad part about it is that now every talk show host in the country seems to structure their daily program around the stories that drudge mentions and links to. What results is that there is usually nothing new added with each additional radio program. By the end of the day its all basically old news and just makes you think "Oh, so you read the Drudge Report too Mr. Talk Show Host". Its a challenge that many of the talkers don't seem to be able to transend by offering any original stories or viewpoints; theres usually not many stories that Drudge hasn't already brought attention to, and nationally as well.

With so many people using computers for work, its not surprising that he is trumping the talkers by providing the news (the link towards them) to so many people well in advance of most talk hosts.

It's a phenomenon that is literally shaking up the talk radio world, though I don't think it was by design. Drudge just had the idea first and I think its clear to see that he definately stays on top of it every day, all day.

He's very good at what he does.

Matt "Sludge" is nothing more than a koolaid pouring cheerleader for Bush's pack of thieves.....and will gladly spin and smear to protect and promote the Bush regime.....nothing more.

mutt

Matt Drudge is a piece of work. The guy has so many irons in this fire it isn't even funny. I think it's telling, how he describes children and then applies it to this case. His actions over the past few days where it concerns this case have answered a lot of questions that I have had about Drudge in the past. Be careful Matt, your colors are starting to show through.

I've listened to Drudge's radio show enough to know that his most recent 'Foley stance' about kids and the internet and people being caught by 'stings' is not new for him.

For whatever reason, he has always campaigned for personal freedoms as it pertains to using the internet. You just can't automatically paint him as beating the republican drum in this case.

Those that do might just be blaming the messenger and denying the news.

Mr. Drudge:

Your reality, sir, is lies & balderdash & I'm delighted to say I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

He obviously lives in that alternate reality that also houses Bush and his bubble.

He's usually an early outlet for the spin du jour from Rove's office, so in that way he's useful. Just not for journalism.

You can't blame Drudge though. Most of his posts are merely links to web sites which have existing stories on them.

I can't believe you guys are blaming Drudge for the stories he links to. You can't penalize him just because he is the first to link to a breaking story. All other news sites will eventually have the same story within an hour anyway.

Drudge just finds a story and runs with it. He sometimes gets leads personally, but thats to be expected. All his posts are subject to fact checking just like anyone elses. He simply doesn't have a chain of command too have to 'run it by' before he posts anything. Thats why he's so fast....and I suppose why people are so suspicious of him when they hear 'bad news'.

No they're blaming him for what he said on his show. Not what he linked to.

Whatever?

He linked to the clip and posted the commentary. It is clearly and accurately cited. Still, way to attack the issue with valid, relevant criticism. *sarcasm

Drudge Hannity and Rush were the bigest cheerleader for Foley on the last election cycle. I think we need to call email and write them just to ask them if they are proud of the support they gave the pervert.

Rush chimed in with the same general line yesterday, saying the D's set Foley up. MMFA has the clip, acknowledging that they are no particular buddies of the RW.

I could care less what Drudge links to. I do have a problem with what HE said. I don't read Drudge, I found out about his latest crap from Crooks & Liars. How in the hell can he blame a 16yr old for a 50+yr old man's actions?

Foley is an adult, ... he is responsible for HIS own actions.

No see, you have it wrong! Republicans are perfect and whenever they get caught up in these kinds of situations , it's always someone else fault. Espically Democrats!!!

Ok so now the Rethugs are working diligently to discredit the teenagers, how long before they spin this around to make Foley the victim???

He's really not, sweetie! There are better men than Drudge out there. I'll listen to just about anbody until they stop making sense. If I go on air with an opinion and back it up with selected proof, I could be Drudge. I think you like him more than I do, but I would ask you to really examine his "proof."
We're all guilty of looking for and presenting "proof" that suits our posts. Why should Drudge be an exeption? Please.... continue to read between the lines and make an effort to find things out for yourself. It's absolutely exhilerating!!!!!!

All of them? No. Ed Schultz doesn't structure his show around what Matt Drudge says.

Isn't this the same as blaming a woman for her own rape because she dressed seductively?

Yeah, Drudge has that warped mentality.

Nor do Randi, Young Turks, Al, Stephanie, or many others.

The more I think about what Drudge said the angrier and outraged that I become. I just googled mat scum and am going to spend a few minutes writing his radio stations
