I just hate to see Drudge getting credit for the “hits” when it’s so easy to put those “sources” into a favorite list—even if it means having to do a little more research a day.

I see. I support legitimate capitalism. In my opinion, many of the excerpts from NEWS, editorials and articles seen here at FreeRepublic seem to be a similar source of news. The opinions posted in these threads makes for very interesting reading (for me at least) as well. As far as I am aware, "credit for hits" is a legitimate means of making money. Your suggestion of "having to do a little more research" would seem to take a significant amount of energy and would also seem to take more time. There are indeed specific issues of interest and research that necessitate using websites other than Drudge. However, as we all know, time is money. Of course, YMMV.

You are absolutely correct. And for those of you who want to see Drudge making money while schilling for Romney—freedom to make that decision in this country is what makes us work.
