Drudge is not a journalist. He runs a blog which consists of links to news sources. His blog is uniques in that unlike traditional bloggers who post their own long-form commentary, Drudge’s opinions are reflected in which stories he chooses to link to - as well as the headlines and photos he uses to link to them.

He is under no obligation to link to any particular stories or to be “fair and balanced”.

I find it far more disturbing that the NY Times, considered a “reputable news source” written by “journalists”, routinely ignores stories that don’t conform to its left-wing, pro-Democrat party agenda.
