The whole issue is slightly ridiculous.

Drudge is a free enterprise not NPR. If you like his service, visit his site, if not, don’t. Just don’t expect to convert those who hold the opposite views. it’s still (more/less) a free country and many people think for themselves.

Any business has to differentiate itself and create demand for it’s product. For online news sites that often means giving people a reason to come there and click through rather than going elsewhere, and that creates an incentive to be a little controversial or sensational. The market will decide.

I completely agree with you. However, in this era of heightened emotionalism, simply stating the obvious is deemed by some to be heresy.

LOL ! A chill-pill and/or a time-out is in order.
