Drudge Report

The Drudge Report is a news website run by Matt Drudge. It has been active since 1994, and is one of the most visited news sites on the Internet.

The Drudge Report first drew national attention when it was the first media outlet to report on the extra-marital affair between then-President Bill Clinton and White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Since then it has played an influential role in American politics.

Matt Drudge is a conservative, and so The Drudge Report is often accused of having a conservative bias. However, the site primarily consists of links to news articles from mainstream media publications, not original reporting by Mr. Drudge.

• Keith Olbermann Fails to Credit Mediaite While Slamming Drudge for Thievery

  
  Mediaite — Authority: 782
  On last night’s Countdown , host Keith Olbermann included a quote by Andrew Breitbart that sounded rather familiar to me. I waited a few seconds to see if there would be any attribution, but the onscreen graphic simply said “Andrew Breitbart – Dec. 10.” Maybe I was mistaken, maybe the source of ...

  [CinemaRatty] Latest Articles — Authority: 169
  Just got back from a screening of Avatar, 3-D glasses and all.  This is just going to be a quickie take on it, since there are so many reviews yet to come – but the thing to know right up front about Avatar is that the years of work put into it, the money it cost to make, is all up there on screen.  The other ...

• Climate-Gate, the New “Red Herring”

  
  War On You: Breaking Alternative News — Authority: 511
  A “Red Herring” is something that is designed to distract you from the real issues. “Look over Here, not Over There!” is an age old political trick as old as time. A “red herring” in a bucket of fish usually means something worse is in the barrel. Something “rotten in Denmark” as it were. Climate-gate ...

• Defending Obama…Again

  
  Cato @ Liberty — Authority: 751
  I caught a lot of flack from my Republican friends for my post blaming the FY2009 deficit on Bush instead of Obama. Well, I must be a glutton for punishment because I can’t resist jumping (albeit reluctantly) to Obama’s defense again. I’m venting my spleen for two reason. First, FoxNews.com posted a story ...

• Drudge and the Deniers

  
  Little Green Footballs — Authority: 575
  Hilarious. Yesterday the Drudge Report linked to Tim Lambert’s Deltoid blog at ScienceBlogs — because Drudge mistakenly thought that Lambert’s post debunking the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition’s dishonesty was actually supporting them. As soon as Drudge realized Deltoid wasn’t a climate denial ...

• The SwiftHack Scandal: What You Need to Know

  
  EnviroKnow — Authority: 632
  First of all, this story should never have been called ClimateGate. Given the similarities between this smear job and the Swift Boat attacks on Senator John Kerry, SwiftHack is a far more appropriate name.

  The Journalista Chronicle// — Authority: 112
  This controversial Obama billboard showed up in a suburban Denver town. Personally I think it’s kind of cool when people are gutsy and stand up for what they believe in! If people want to know if the president is really a US citizen, then he should produce proof. The fact that he’s being totally aloof makes ...
