I used to read Matt Drudge’s Drudge Report all the time. By-and-by he’s become more conservative and more a “Hey you kids–off my lawn,” frustrated, angry man!. Now I only go to Drudge when I want to get upset… like tonight!
Here’s his current page (Is Drudge the last of all websites to only have one ‘real’ webpage with updated info?)
To most of the world the lead is that little story on the right: A government shutdown has been averted: “Finally, a deal…”
Too pedestrian for Drudge. He’s got bigger fish to fry: “PELSOI SKIPS TOWN ON SHUTDOWN EVE.”
He’s all about Nancy Pelosi’s speaking engagement and a story which he links to the thinly read Medford Patch. It is the only citation on the web (other than a Politico article which was published prior to her appearance).
Maybe Pelosi is a story, but is it the all caps lead on the night Congress decides the government can stay open-for-business?
Like I said I go to Drudge when I want to get upset. Mission accomplished!
I just don’t read Drudge. There’s enough other stuff to get me mad, like what is going on in D.C.
Same for me – life’s too short to waste time on Drudge. Plenty of political stupidity elsewhere – I can get mad reading CNN.
I use it to link to newspapers etc He has a wide range of links on the site I get a kick out of his headlines !!!! Too bad people believe everything he prints
