While as a liberal, I do not suggest the following with a great deal of pleasure, but Matt Drudge is by far the single most influential person in the American media, and it is fair to ask: Is he the second most influential man in America?

For more than any individual in the media, Drudge dominates his competitors to the degree that he has no competitors, and determines what you watch on television, what you read in newspapers, what you hear and radio, and even what you read on the Internet about politics more than any single person in American history

Reading this I can’t help remembering that email is sent out daily by some Dem operative each AM which gave the leftist newsrooms in America their talking points.

I cannot remember the author of the email, some backroom, not very important media/governmental functionary IIRC.

Anyone come up with links? It seems to be buried.

Drudge may be influential but the covert planned control of the leftist media is underhanded and manipulated. Limbaugh’s funny segments about how the newsroom media readers repeat these leftist agenda talking points was both amusing and tragic.

This is the most I could find about Kline. Would have thought that Limbaugh would have something out there.

I love it when Rush plays those clips. They all say the same thing almost verbatim. I think I heard gravitas enough to last a lifetime.

One reason to be thankful for FR, become a monthly donor, and post frequently.

From a historical perspective Drudge will be remembered as a hero for breaking the monopoly of total socialist control of American media. He pioneered the alternate, then preferred new media on the internet and his work along with JimRob’s inspired an entire generation of free thinkers who cast off the chains of socialist propaganda that was promoted on the old “lame stream” media outlets.

True, he is a danger to the Old Order. The Daily Bell calls this the Internet Revolution. The old power grabbers are very threatened. Thus Net Neutrality.

He was The March for Justice in DC, a huge freeper event about 14 years ago.

Matt figures HUGELY in our growth, he linked to us.

Back in the day a very high percent of our members found.FR via Matt”s kindness.

Matt is a hero and never got Potomac Fever, to the unending benefit of freedom everywhere.

ARMY OF ONE.

I put him on par with Rush, Reagan, Buckley.

A true American Success Story, alllll that from a high school loser and former GIFT SHOP CLERK.

Amazing.

I remember that.

We as a free people are blessed to have Drudge. He is a factor in keeping us free.

Come to think of it, we all are.

If he is, maybe it’s because he’s doing the work you liberals lapdogs refuse to do.

It also demonstrates that there’s a huge market for unbiased news reporting. But don’t let that deter you from your left-wing agenda.

We’ll wave to you from the deck as your ship sinks.

I am quoting from the article here.

It will be good to see these mouthpieces exposed and driven from their lairs.
