Why did Drudge pull this link so quick?

Drudge pulled this link after just a few hours, but has others on there all day.

A $10,000 proposed subsidy for Volt buyers is a relevant story.

Is Drudge not a reliable source anymore?

I saw the Santorum story several times too.

There are big financial international news and other stories and pictures there now...maybe just a lot coming in at once...we’ll see if he puts the Volt story back up...

I pulled the plug on Drudge several weeks ago. “He’s just a guy who posts things that interest him.” I’m not too interested in his interest any more.

Drudge has a picture of an oil well spewing crude and talks about $4 oil. Looks like Boama is pushing electric cars to make someone rich.

I haven’t looked at Drudge in years. FR is all I really need.

Drudge is full of crapo. Site is a parttime effort. No news night or weekend. Hasn’t done anything since Clinton left.

I deleted Drudge from my bookmarks a couple of weeks ago and I am proud to say that I am Drudge Free! Don’t miss his sorry a$$ one bit.

Drudge has his own agenda.
More or less like MSNBC.

I think most of Sunday was dominated by the drug/alcohol death story, although I’m not sure when it was changed.

Drudge sometimes refreshes itself, if you stay there for a while. But if not, you need to refresh it yourself to see the new layout. I’m not sure about the timing at this point, but I don’t think the Santorum story, with the photo of him in a cowboy hat, was up very long.

Thought Barry said he wasn’t interested in running a car company.

Also will the government give me a new house if my volt burns it down?

At the rate that Baraq’s EPA is effecting the shutdown of refineries, we may need those e-cars.

Of course Baraq’s EPA is also effecting the shutdown of coal powered generating plants.

Maybe next he’ll subsidize Chinese bicycles.

I likewise have sharply curtailed my visits to Drudge since bloody Thursday ... after visiting Matt at least twice a day for the last decade ... Honestly, I think Axelrod or Sorros (cellphone refuses to let me spell his name) ... have successfully blackmailed Matt ...

Don’t you want it known and documented when all of the stories in the MSM are anti-Newt and there are no anti-Mitt stories to be found? You do know that Drudge didn’t write those anti-Newt stories, right?

I removed Druge’s bookmark. He has ‘jumped the shark’, just like what’s her name: Ann Coulter! I never read anything from her anymore. She can go with Drudge to Romnay’s lovefest all she wants.

To the thread... Just a few thoughts on why MD removed* the link.

1. It's just another story about a wet dream Odumbo had to repay his union buddies by incenti-fying that stupid car and his green agenda. There is not one chance in hell his wet dream is ever going to be a reality.

2. Maybe MD doesn't like driving traffic to the DailyCaller website. Drudge drives so much traffic to sites around the world; some sites that would otherwise unnoticed. These sites make money when MD throws up a link to their site on his page. Do you visit the DailyCaller on a daily basis?

3. Many here has voiced their displeasure over MD's 'attack' on Newt a few weeks ago. I don't recall but how many of those articles did MD actually write himself? And further more, did you track which sites those anti-Newt stories were posted at, and have you thrown your disgust towards them as well?

* You can search for any of the headlines posted on MD site by using the link provided. If it's not there front and center where YOU expect it, use the search function to find it. The archive site is not run by MD and usually has a 12 to 24 hour lag. But if you saw it on MD, it will be at this site for reference long after MD has removed it.
