Drudge Report Links To,-Promotes Anti-Israel AP and Reuters Media
Amerisrael ^

Posted on 05/31/2010 10:31:31 AM PDT by Amerisrael

Drudge Report has a bad habit of linking to and promoting articles written and contrived by anti-Israel AP and Reuters "stringers".

Unless Drudge changes it today sometime after this is posted, currently as of this writting there is not a single Israeli account of the interdiction of the so-called "peace-activist" Gaza flotila on the Drudge Report.

No links to Jpost, Israel National News, or other Israeli media articles on the incident.

The current [ 9:47am EST 05/31/10] page of Drudge Report lists the following headlines on this matter:


Israeli commandos storm aid flotilla; 10 killed...
Israelis say self-defense; were attacked with knives, sticks, gunfire...
France: Profoundly shocked, Europe calls for inquiry...
Turkey warns of 'consequences'...
Details scant amid censorship, communications jamming...
Israel in eye of storm...

Drudge should exercise more responsibility than to promote articles written by anti-Israel "stringers". 

Lets take them one by one and compare:

Amen to what you have said.

Careful Drudge, you do not want to look like you support those who are not for Israel!

Aid my butt. Deliberate provacation is more like it. Isreal has a right to defend itself against these thugs. They knew what would happen when they set sail to help the terrorist in Gaza.

Drudge has VERY effectively advanced conservativism.

The media freaking loathes him; a little more Our Way and the media would tar him as a “NeoConservative”.

That’s the last thing we need. Drudge is a member of the tribe and doing yeoman’s service.

lol, too funny, this is a joke, right??? Drudge had been around since about 1998. I have read it all this time. I respectfully disagree with you. Drudge is not a hater.

If you are on the lookout for Jew haters, focus on your own Jewish communities, it is baffling as to why so many JAs support guys like Obama...As if there is some kind of self-hate thing going on....wierd

Drudge will link to articles that show the idiocy of the European press, which long ago ceased any semblance of a true news agency and now promotes anti-Semetic propaganda.

After all, these news agencies are staffed with the remnants of the Communist parties from the 50’s.

He also links to the Huffington post. So what? We need to know what they’re saying.

“lol, too funny, this is a joke, right??? “

No! This is no joke.

And I’m not accusing Drudge of being a “jew hater”, I’m saying he needs to be more responsible in the articles he chooses to link to and promote. Especially in regards to helping fight the “jihad in the media” that is currently being waged.

Linking to biased AP and Reuters stringers doesn’t help in that regard. And Drudge has done this often.

And what’s more if you have read the entire post you would see how Drudge keeps the same headlines, but changes what articles they link to.

Yup. And he also likes to throw up one side one day, and the opposing response the next. In the old days, newspapers would do that with cross-town rivals (It still sometimes happens between the Boston Globe and Boston Herald-American). Drudge does it within his own website. First you have the shocking "Thedid what?!" Then the next day, all of the holes in the first waves of reports get exposed. The last impression is more important than the first.

And like it or not, he can't go to Breitbart for everything, or use the JPost as his primary source for Israeli news.

I’m sure Drudge is shaking in his boots with your big girl threat. ;)

Seriously, it is important to know what the powers that be are setting up for Israel in the way they tell this story to demonize Israel. This means Europe is lining up with Turkey and the Arabs against Israel along with the Marxists in this country - Obama. AP and Rueters represent the Left/Muslim alliance and side of hatred.

It does not hurt you to know this is happening and reporting it does not mean Drudge wants it to happen.

I repeat, focus on the JA community, they are your biggest problem.
