For several days Drudge has been running almost around-the-clock negative banners against Newt, hyping negatives and burying news which contradicts the Romney campaign narrative that Newt was anti-Reagan.
Against the anti-Newt crusade stands a wealth of counter-viewpoints of people who were in a position to know and who share very different recollections of Newt and Reagan, via Josh Painter in the comments:

Hopefully you won’t continue to be a Drudge stooge and you’ll go to the link and educate yourself.
Newt owes Drudge big time for turning the South Carolina primary from a nail-biter into a rout.
Drudge spends all his headlines fighting Newt, while the most important event of the day goes unnoticed.
IF Obama is thrown off the ballot in Georgia, the we have already won a great victory.

I remember reading the text of an interview Romney once have throwing Reagan under the bus.
Impossible! Gaffer told me that any ideas some of might have about Drudge being anti-Newt is simply a figment of our imaginations.
The Newt quotes on Drudge are pretty damning... of course, the Mitt quotes from the same time are FAR worse....
What’s the Intrade on an Obama re-election these days? Our circular firing squad sharpshooters are pretty good... Of course, we have FAT targets to shoot at.
Just expressed my anger to Drudge and deleted the bookmark. I’m done.
I am doing the same in about 1 minute. FR is where I get my news and has been my homepage for 10 years.
Bye, bye, Drudge.
I remember reading the text of an interview Romney once have throwing Reagan under the bus.
Please find this interview, I would like to read it very much. (for real! no sarcasm)
I swear I keep encountering this Romney-mania in so many places and from so many people who I would have previously thought to be unlikely supporters of his, let alone zealots. I’m not talking about the usual establishment suspects. These are people and groups I have known and worked with in public policy and campaigns for almost two decades.
I really do think that there has been some kind of deep, quiet effort to buy off erstwhile conservatives in every corner of conservative and Republican circles, in every part of the country. I supect it started over a year ago and I suspect ridiculous amounts of money are being spent on this effort. I wish I could give some examples, but I don’t want to up-end any working relationships I have. But let me repeat that it is very, very strange to me just who is there for him and how intense their support is.

Call it the Drudge grudge.
While I was at it I removed Google for:
“The World’s Most Private Search Engine”. They don’t register and cache your ISP. Better than Google.
Drudge has an interest to have the election go on as long as possible. Simple economics. Just as talk shows would enjoy Obama staying elected, it might hurt the country, but its easy money.
This election has everything to do with protecting a status quo that feeds the coffers of many insiders, including those who use the label ‘conservative’.
Whether it’s now or later down the road they realize there is great potential for their ox to be gored. Maybe even killed.
In the end, that’s what this is all about. This year holds the potential for great economic tumult added to what has already occurred. The status quo wants their bets covered on both sides of the ledger — republican and democrat.
Thanks for the link!
