Is Drudge the world’s most powerful jounalist? Probably so. What other ‘individual’ journalist brings as many stories to the public’s attention as Drudge?
20 million+ visits per day and growing, probably eight or so million individual visitors per day. Then the stories he puts up are often picked up by talk radio hosts and television news. There’s a rock in the pond ripple effect to whatever he puts on his site.
And, he’s probably more powerful than most newspapers and magazines, and maybe even a few evening news broadcast.
Many Freepers found FR through Drudge's site.
I heard DougFromUpland reciting a limerick on George Putnam's radio program in LA. He mentioned his verses were posted at FR and that FR was linked at Drudge. Many moons ago.

Drudge is the essence of what it is to be an American.
A wonderful Horatio Alger type story.
