Drudge gets 30 million hits daily —more than the daily traffic of every major US daily, combined.

DC political consultants all check his page 10 times or more daily —because his simple act of linking to a story ASSURES that the story WILL be talked about, it WILL become the “real” news, even if it wasn’t.

The ONE man driving news in the USA is Matt Drudge, a former gift-shop clerk, a man who never went to college.

I’ve had many disagreements with his coverage —and recently a major chronic one— but:

THE MAN GAVE US A SHOT —maaaaany dedicated freeps found FR via his link.

Do you all think that WE haven’t done stuff that has sometimes embarrassed him? Yes, there has been stuff like that, over the years, and at several junctures he’s been taken to task over his willing association with us (a couple times we were even un-linked).

But he hasn’t shunned us, and he’s provided really great material.

Did you know Drudge came in person to the FreeRepublic March for Justice?

That was when Clinton and his goons were seriously talking about us as terrorists...! But still Matt showed up..!

The man has GUTS.

It’s OK to disagree with him —he would understand that. He would understand even if there were HUGE disagreements.

But BOYCOTTING him? Oh, please.

Besides with the MSM being what it is, you’ll all be back licking up his material in a week...

Awesome, courageous post, man!

Bump your top-notch, rational post.

But he hasn’t shunned us,...

Actually he dropped his link to FR for years over some spat from many years ago. According to one post on this thread he has removed it again.

Drudge gets 30 million hits daily ...

That's a lot of web page hits. I have to wonder why that is... or perhaps not.

If Matt Drudge sends -=] ME[=- a valid check made out to -=] ME [=- for tens of millions of dollars and its signed and then Matt also agrees with absolutely everything I have ever thought and said, then I will consider not thinking bad thoughts about Matt Drudge.

Oh yeah, and Matt also has to consistently and publicly address me as, "Your Most Magnificence" while bowing to me ... or perhaps not. :)

The man has GUTS. It’s OK to disagree with him —he would understand that. He would understand even if there were HUGE disagreements.

If he truly still had guts, he'd do the following:

1. Apologize for the blatant lack of balance where posting negative stories are concerned about GOP POTUS candidates (Almost no negative Romney articles this whole election cycle, especially any articles (And they are myriad) concerning his progressive liberal behavior as Governor).
2. Start fixing the problem

I'll give you a hint, you're not going to see him do it, because when it comes right down to it, he's a coward.

We’ve been unlinked again. It’s an official spat now.

Hopefully it’ll pass like the others.
