Drudge just has links to web sites. Then he has some interesting stories with links but a picture above the story hooks people. The pics really help. I wonder if there are copy right issues. He seems to use a lot of Yahoo sourced pictures.
It is a real tragedy because he is in the tank for O.
I wouldn’t say that Drudge is in the tank for Obama.
He did favor Obama when he was running against Hillary, but I think that was mainly because he hates and fears Hillary because of things that go back to Monicagate.
He was fair enough to McCain and Palin after hillary left the scene. In fact, I thought he favored them over Obama.
Now, he has only Obama to focus on and draw in viewers. And this birth certificate business is pretty radioactive. Drudge has run some fairly negative stories on Obama even after the election, but he has to focus on whatever excites his audience.
Drudge got bitten once, along with Murdoch, when he ran with the story about clinton’s illegitimate black child, Danny Williams. In point of fact, I think the story was true, but Drudge got trapped and nailed because the child’s DNA didn’t match clinton’s DNA from the appendix of the Starr Report, and the MSM was all set to go with that.
In fact, there was a discrepancy because the Starr Report printed a fictionalized version of Clinton’s DNA, for supposed reasons of national security, but meantime the damage was done and Drudge didn’t try to pursue it any further. This birth certificate story could actually be true, yet used to entrap anyone who steps into it, by media manipulation and forgeries of the kind that clinton and Obama are making all too familiar.
