Let me clarify that: It might have been that Ailes heard that Drudge was going to show the picture, ordered him not to, and Drudge walked [before the picture was ever shown].

Anyway, that picture was the reason he left:

There are issues that I'm so frightened of—1.2 million abortions a year scares the hell out of me. Oftentimes when I see these superstorms forming, you know, sometimes—I wouldn't be honest if I didn't think it was retribution.

-Matt Drudge to Camille Paglia

Drudge also said on his radio show that they did not recognize his "style" of journalism and that he was villified by the other members of the staff. I'm not defending Drudge by any stretch, I'm just pointing out that we have all annointed FNC as the "fair and balanced" network and I think that we've been suckered. Even though they have been just as guilty as CNN with overkill on the Bush National Guard story.
