Wow. Levin said barely anything about Drudge and yet you are pushing it all out of proportion. Levin is a patriot and this column proves it. As does his radio show - every single day - as you well know it.
You can listen for yourself, after the first break in Friday's show, Levin telling us to lay off Drudge, that he's done so much good for the country and journalism, etc. Defends his putting up links - some days more than others. And he said he's a good friend of Drudge.

Mark also said he would support Romney if he is the candidate - on that I am personally conflicted.
Later in the show, Levin did indeed take it to Romney as does the article above. But he couldn't see what was happening with Drudge. Even the NY Times saw it:
A team of some of the most fearsome researchers in the business, led by Mr. Romney’s campaign manager, Matt Rhoades, spent days dispensing negative information about Mr. Gingrich, much of it finding its way to the influential Drudge Report, which often serves as a guide for conservative talk radio and television assignment editors and to which Mr. Rhoades has close ties.
The effort hit a peak by Thursday, when the site was virtually taken over by headlines assailing Mr. Gingrich, whose advisers said they eventually gave up on trying to persuade the Drudge staff to spare them, acknowledging, in the words of one aide, that “very little can be done.”
