Not specifically to Sparaig, but to all the posters who characterize Drudge similiar to above: Do you actually read Drudge? Daily? Ever? >From your comments, its sounds like you are repeating stale 4th hand characterizations you read on some other site. And not from reading / Scanning Drudge daily. Your characterizations - while sparse and not comprehensive (and thus that may be the communications problem here) -- do not well reflect what Druge is day in and day out: his site is a news-digesting service -- like so many others, including many newspapers (who do little or no reporting, but pull stuff and reprint from other sources). His choice of articles is hardly "right-wing" or anti-liberal. He posts/links a wide variety of articles from a wide range of sources. One thing I like is his comprehensive set of links to a variety of media sources -- and presumably the primary ones he draws from. I look at his site regularly because his choice is a bity quirky, surprising, ironic. I find one or two articles of interest, at times, at a glance at his site, that would take a lot of slogging thru to back pages of other news digesters. Occaisionally, once or twice a month, he gets leaks on stories -- which he will hjeqadline -- and usually puts a huge "Developing...." banner on it. I take that to mean, as I imagine any reader above second grade, as saying he has a good rumor, is running it down, but its just arumor at this point. I find his leaks often do bear some fruit -- have some substance behind them. But this part of his blog is a very minor part. And he rearely if ever posts his own editorials. He is not like a blogger who are often 95% editorial, -- with some newsdigesting thrown in. Look at his page today. What is right-wing and anti-liberal about these articles: http://www.drudgereport.com/ "Maybe It Will Take a Woman to Clean up the House" "Ugly Iowa: Republican Spot Links Dem to Communist Paarty" "Marijuana may help stave off Alzheimer's Active ingredient in pot may help preserve brain function" "New Media A Weapon in New World Of Politics" "Three More Former Pages Accuse Foley of Online Sexual Approaches" "Major chains refuse to play Bush death film" "Man Apologizes for Courtroom Feces" The source of these articles are from apparnetly right-wing bastions of: Yahoo News, Quad-City News, Washington Post, ABC To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
