Drudge links to a lot of news sources. Just look below his page.

You may not agree with Alex Jones, but you should defend his right to say it. That is our 1st Amendment Right as citizens. The Right to Free Speech is not to protect popular speech. It’s there to protect unpopular speech.

If you don’t like it, then maybe you should move to North Korea where only popular speech is permitted by the government. Only dictatorships, fascist states and thug governments fear free speech. They like to “control” what people think. That way they can continue to abuse people and get away with it.

To me I am interested in only the truth. Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report is the number 1 news web site in the world for a reason. It’s because most people find Drudge to be the most accurate of any news site in the world.

Uh, yeah, and you should defend kevin’s right to criticize Drudge and Jones also. I didn’t read anything in the OP about Alex Jones’ “rights” — I just read opinion.

I do not question Drudge’s right to link the site nor Alex Jones’s right to free speech. I would never inhibit nor sanction any such activity, however it is a question of credibilty when sources are as dubious as Alex Jones. Free Speech always.
