Well:

33, 807, 227
—————— = 0.94070223505761061089097902055084
31, 802, 534

and

1=0.94070223505761061089097902055084
=0.05929776494238938910902097944916

Rounded, that’s 6%. It would be hard to call that a backlash without looking at his weekly variations over time. Were Drudge to loose 6%, he’d likely feel it but be able to make it up with a broader set of headlines. 60% now that’s a backlash. Without a trend, I think this is more an eyelash.

It’s a start!

I hate this.

Guaranteeed, there was direct outside influence.

What was it?”

How professional political operatives secretly control the news you read about the 2008 campaign. Hint: It involves the Drudge Report.

I haven’t been to Drudge’s page for probably 4-5 years. Every time I’d go I would:
A) Get a ton of spyware popups, and
B) See nothing but stories which FR had already been covering in great detail.

Plus, at FR, you comment and have conversations.

If I wanted just to read a liberal news source, I'd subscribe to a newspaper. At least I'd get the comics and Sunday sale pages!

Shep Smith on Fox looks really bad. Sorry boyfriend done him in I quess!

I hadn't seen ol' Shep in a looooong time. Man, he looks bad!

If I allow it to become cluttered my wife wacks me in the back of the head.

Dang, is that what I needed to do? Wish I'd known sooner!
