Dear Matt Drudge: Stop the race stories
The Hill ^ | 11/9/2012 | Brent Budowsky

Posted on 11/09/2012 10:01:39 AM PST by Obadiah

Dear Mr. Drudge:

I have written before that, whether I like it or not, you are the one of the most influential forces in modern media, possibly THE most influential single player. You tower above your peers in what you do. Despite my failed efforts, no liberal or Democrat has even tried to create a legitimate competitor to what you do. But with your influence comes power, and with power comes responsibility, and the Drudge Report in recent months has become inundated, and saturated and permeated with baiting stories about the president's race, and about blacks generally. These are beneath the standards you should set for yourself and your profession.

You should be, and I hope you will be, a better citizen and more worthy professional than is suggested by the sheer number of race-related and often race-baiting stories that you regularly banner on the Drudge Report.

Not only that....but using the Bible to justify it! LOL! I just love it when libtards start using the Bible excuse.....having never set foot in a church or defending Christians against discrimination and persecution.

Or Else, what? Not only we enter Obama’s “Patriotic Capitalism”, we will now be forced “Patriotic Journalism”?

Brent, you can KMB.

America has a huge race problem: the ghetto culture. I'm waiting for blacks to wise up and fix that problem.

Drudge references articles elsewhere. This puke tells us all we need to know about how utterly stupid he is.

Bill Cosby and other black leaders are trying to. Not many listening, AFAICT.

Looks like a perfect candidate for the black teens' game of Knockout -- maybe forbidding Drudge from warning about the danger is not such a bad idea. . . .

When you try and fail, all you have left if to attack those who succeed.

More proof that employees of the MSM are skid marks on Journalism's shorts. Though to be fair at least Mr. Budowsky admits his bias while many other MSM employees do not.

Brent, you sir are an IDIOT!
There is no more racially divisive factor in this country
than the empty chair that occupies our White House.
Matt Drudge links to real, relevant stories.
Obozo is a race-class panderer, and hates White people.
You, and he, can kiss my butt!

“And, so it begins”. This phrase can be applied to so many things after the election and here it means the beginning of the silencing of opposition. The complaint is also out there from the left that Rush should be gotten rid of because he is the reason Republicans lose. First they came for Rush, then they came for Drudge, then they came for me.

THEY are the ones talking about race non-stop. They’d better get their noses out of OUR Free Press while they still have noses. And the gall to lecture Drudge!

Was this written by one of those guys who refused to report on all of Obama’s mistakes?

The on-line media is the biggest threat that mainstream journalism (and the regime) face. The decline - thus far - of the MSM can be attributed to their leftward slant, and...the internet getting out the truth.

Of course this cucumberhead is down on Drudge, and is too stupid to see that the Drudge Report is only a page full of links. Drudge actually writes very little of what is on the site.
