Yes, I know...I WENT TO HIS SITE. IT IS MY FAULT. (not BUSH's fault, MY fault)
It is a sin I rarely commit. Only when I am rooting around everywhere for tidbits on some breaking story of special interest.
He is so full of cheap tricks and scumbag self-promotion that he long ago exhausted any credit he was due for his role in exposing the tawdry antics in the Oval Office under its previous occupant.
There are so many reasons not to visit Drudge: no news judgment, obsession with Hollywood, insignificant but titilating stories of the rich and stupid, his weird and ridiculous personna, his absurd self-justifications, but, MOST OF ALL, his hiring out of his site to the scum of the internet marketing world so they can bombard visitors to the site with very aggressive and unwanted advertising. (Never, never visit that site unless you are using protection.)
(Oh, did I forget to mention the regular Sunday night siren -- the siren like the Seinfeld show...the siren about nothing -- to draw people to his radio "show," the one that made Wayne's World look like it had high production values?)
How can you go lower from all of this?
Sludge now has on his site (maybe this has been going on a while....as I say, I avoid the place) what appear to be "legitimate Drudge news items" which are actually ads. I clicked on one with some hot medical news debunking "the cholesterol myth." Okay, my bad! But it looks just like another news item ~except~ for the tiny script below it that urges you to support Drudge advertisers. Yea, Drudge, you can count on it.
This is like those junk mailers who send out their garbage in envelopes that make them look like government checks.
Yea, you're quite the muck-raking journalist, Drudge. And that's -30-.
"Sister Sludge"..
But don't you like his collection of hats?
I still think Paula Abdul is a train wreck waiting tohappen but she is one fine looking women
If you listen to his radio program, he's conservative/libertarian. His website unfortunately largely acts as a megaphone for the lying propaganda of the main stream press. I find I avoid his screaming tabloid headlines now and read the more sober assessments one can get from the intelligently written blogs.
hmmm.
When I found FR I quit Drudge.
It just so happens, FreeRepublic has a link to Drudge on its homepage. Most folks visit daily. The fact you don't like Drudge won't change the surfing habits of 99.999% of folks.
His radio program is almost like a People magazine talk format..he is infatuated with Hollywood and movies and the "hidden cameras" that keep popping up in high crime neighborhoods. And more importantly, his bumper music sucks (sounds like some kind of gay bar DJ.)
I couldn't agree more. I stopped going to his site about 2 years ago because everything was alarmist and negative.
It's amazing how many people like someone who tells them what they want to hear but dislike them when they say something they don't like.
Sorry, he gave a bad time to your hero, Bill Clinton.
Like the Drudge site, but get about 6 or 7 spyware hits every time I click on it...
I haven't been to his ugly site since I found out that he gives you ad ware.
Besides, his site is just links to other sites with news. Anybody with or without talent could have created his site.
The sensationalism and blatant ads turned me off.
No more drudge for me.
If you surf the Internet, you should have learned to distinguish between ads and non-ads by now. Rocket science it ain't ...
If you have a good spyware program (as you should if you travel the Internet) Drudge Report or any other site won't cause you computer problems. Drudge is the home page on three computers in our household and we have zip/zero/nada computer problems ...
If you don't like Drudge (or any other web site), the solution is simple, just say no, and don't go there! As the saying goes, to each his own ... How many web sites are there to visit and you're all worked up and posting vanities on FR about one of them??
Better get back on your meds and get a life ... sounds like you're about to burst a blood vessel there ...
Ditto.
Love the pic!
I'VE never been suckered into clicking on an ad on Drudge.
