Now you claim to know how long he's kept the 24 stories he actually posted.

No I didn't I said I knew about one. I also found that he, according to your link, has only posted 24 stories since June 7, 2011. Almost eight months not three. Be sure to take some medicine yourself for posting false information.

Imagine No RINOS

Imagine there’s no RINOS
It’s easy if you try
No Mitt Romney before us
Wagging his tongue of lies
Imagine all the people living in liberty

Imagine there’s no Drudge bookmarks
It isn’t hard to do
No link or homepage to search for
And no MSM or Coulter too
Imagine all the people living conservatively

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And we’ll Tea Party as one

Imagine no Drudge Report
I wonder if you can see
No need to click that site again
By switching your properties
Imagine his traffic going down the drain

You, you may say
I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And all Freepers will live as one

Don’t forget Chris Plante of WMAL, 105.9FM or 630AM out of DC, 0900-1200. Chris should be syndicated. Give him your ear for a week, you’ll get stuck to the computer/radio, he is top shelf, crisp, smart, funny and unlike the others...Chris takes no prisoners!! Chris rocks...not to be confused with the racist idiot!

I have never heard of that fellow so I took a look to see if his show streams on the net. Sure enough...

WMAL Listen online

...along with Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and others. Thanks for the heads up!

Matt took his link to FreeRepublic down this evening.

I can't help but wonder if by encouraging links to be dropped if FreeRepublic is isolating itself.

Drudge has changed the link to the Home page of Free Republic, not the forum as usual.

I am sure that is a warning shot. The Drudge haters know no bounds.

I cannot boycott him.

I've visited the site maybe 20 times in my entire life.

You are a terminally dense freeper. Last couple of days? What and when do you think started this? Do you always post on threads you know nothing about?

Hey guys. How are ya? What's been going on? Say, what's this thread about?

The only value Sludge has had in recent years is that if you see what articles he links to, you will probably find the same articles linked on FR.

That’s no longer enough for me.

Every hit that Sludge misses is an ad that he doesn’t deliver, and money that doesn’t go into his pocket.

For years (decades)nearly all the news media both print and screen have been biased against us and our candidates. Yet FR insists always that only published sources including all of the official mainstream biased media are correct posts. Anything else is a lowly blogger or even lowlier vanity post.

Rush Limbaugh, the best conservative voice in the country, consistently reads from articles published in biased papers or sources.

While I do not like Drudge to be biased, it’s not the first time he’s been so, and he is not alone. We here already institutionally give too much legitimacy to biased sources.

Rush is right to not ever endorse in a primary because half the people would boycott and excoriate him. I don’t like it that Drudge has picked his favorite but there it is, we are all biased. And Drudge is so obvious that it’s not even a fake of objective journalism. SO that kind of makes it more benign. You all know that some people actually do support romney, and he’s one of them. And he’s not even trying to hide it.

Drudge gets 30 million hits daily ...

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

That is, in no small measure, due to the sneaky feature he has programmed into his site that auto refreshes the screen every few minutes. It's a hit multiplier designed to enhance his ad revenue.

Drudge was always a day late and a dollar short on stories that we really need to know about the Obama admin.

Matt can slam the door - I'm out of his site.
