If Drudge served up partisan rubbish designed purely to push a particular agenda then he would have faded from prominence years ago. I doubt whether he links to anything just because an operative from a particular campaign alerts him to it - he chooses his links according to his own quirky judgement, which clearly reflects the on-line desires of millions.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/foreign/tobyharnden/oct07/drudge.htm">the "New York Times" piece today describes it only a little more kindly as a "potent combination of real scoops, gossip and innuendo".</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/foreign/tobyharnden/oct07/drudge.htm">As Don Surber notes<A title="Drudge 1, NYT 0 (opens new browser window)" target="_blank" href="http://blogs.dailymail.com/donsurber/2007/10/22/drudge-1-nyt-0/"> here</A>, most of Drudge's content is pretty straight news. Yes, stuff on there should be checked before it's believed but isn't that the case with the "New York Times" also?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/foreign/tobyharnden/oct07/drudge.htm">A candidate who tries to live by the Drudge might well find herself dying by the Drudge too.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/foreign/tobyharnden/oct07/drudge.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/blogs.telegraph.co.uk/img/91079D5C-ABF0-4B13-94C3-1B3E75D8B040" alt="Matt Drudge" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DE55787E-4F23-4A7F-A132-605C1BFBDFA6/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
