1. Drudge aggregates the big news stories, each day. Floods, tornados, elections, polls, scandals, campaigns, etc.
2. He doesn’t write the stories, and he doesn’t censor the news.
3. That particular day there was a deluge of anti-Gingrich stories, so he provided the headlines and links to those stories, as he does with any other story.
4. Had the day unfolded with a deluge, even a plethora of anti-Romney stories, Drudge would have provided the headlines and links to those stories, as he does with any other story.
5. As you said, over the years DrudgeReport has been instrumental in highlighting stories that were important to conservatives.
The attacks on Drudge have been ridiculous.
Never saw on Drudge the Video of Nancy Reagan.
That one think along would have Quashed the “Newt was an Anti-Reagan”.
Not buying it and have not been to Drudge since.
