He posted a clearly propagandistic video clip of a cropped minute from a 20-year-old interview with Newt cut off virtually in mid-sentence to make it look like Newt said something he didn’t. When this had been sitting out there for that long without many hits and suddenly it shows up on Drudge at the same time these other anti-Reagan articles are linked, you know this was coordinated.

There is no doubt in anyone's mind, if they have really been paying attention to this story. I would not be surprised if this whole coordinated negative attach becomes a much bigger story with legs. Especially, the Drudge angle. I suspect that there could be some real scandalous activity that might get revealed.

I hardly watch FOX any more since they turned to the left and now I hear they have hired a media matters Soros homosexual activist
WTH is that about?

Media matters and Soros fought to hurt FOX but now they get this radical left wing nut.

I love how you can pretend that you know what you’re talking about.

I’ve been boycotting “new entertainment”, including Fox, for quite awhile now.

Aha..! So you remember, too...! Yes, exactly..!

Can u say who u used to be? You don't have to --I'd understand.

I know you MUST be from well before 2003, that's for sure.

Done as of yesterday and used the “tip” box to tell Drudge what I thought of his hit pieces on Newt.

Not possible. And not deserved. Matt Drudge is the best thing to happen to the news in my lifetime. He changed everything and shattered the left’s ability to control the narrative. We owe him a debt of gratitude, not boycotts and rehashed gay smears from David Brock.

Besides, every one of those stories yesterday had a source. It was a coordinated dump of monumental proportions. Drudge would lose credibility is he were to pretend it wasn’t happening. He’s had Lords’ piece up all day and he gave Palin’s response the red-letter treatment. He reports, we decide. The way it should be. No way I’m bailing on him now.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

I agree, a lot of knee-jerk reaction going on it seems, I like Drudge's site, I will determine what is news worthy to me or not, thank you very much. Can't wait to see the boycott Fox news thread or did I miss it already?

exactly
FR gives us news most of the media will not cover and we can comment on it and see where others stand.

Drudge, ARF, forget it, I;ve had it with him, Coulter etc

Now I know there are some groupies out there who hang on to every word but for me I will not touch Drudge until he and Coulter gets off their Romney establishment bandwagon

I like Lucianne.com. What I don’t think people get is if you cultivate going to a new site, lots of new people there will make that site more edgy and out there... but you have to be willing to leave the old behind..

Never heard of Newser.com. Interesting site/concept...I like what I see, as it’s perfect for busy people or those with short attn spans or the graphically-inclined. Wish I’d thought of it! Tanks for the tip.

You mean the way he has pretended that Fast and Furious didn't happen by posting one story for less than a half hour then pulling it completely in a year that had hundreds of articles published about it? Like that?

Not ditching Drudge.

Newt DOES suck, only not as bad as Romney does. The entire Republican field leaves a lot to be desired. It’s almost as if the Republicans want 0bama to be re-elected.

Last night I got fed up with Drudge and deleted him from toolbar, after checking his site most every day, from even before the blue dress. My habit has been to always check the headlines on Drudge every evening after getting home from work, and then I use the link to Free Republic and enter off of his page. Tonight like clockwork I had to properly bookmark Free Republic as my routine was disrupted. I will miss the Drudge Report and if he offered an apology and retraction on the anti Newt rhetoric I would reconsider, but my trust of the site has been broken.
