Drudge had the Monica story for SIX MONTHS —as in the top headline- before ANY MSM outfit would touch it.

Day after day after day there was more stuff on Drudge and FR, and ZERO US TV stations or newspapers said a SINGLE word about it.

It’s sorta like that now, I think, with this BirdDogging thing.

The power to control the news needs to be ripped away from the existing media. The Cameras and transmitters need to be turned back on their previous owners and their collaborators in the Democrat party.

The country will not get fixed until the Liberal monopoly is broken.

That was before the internet, social media, twitter, youtube, etc.

That was in the days of “if we don’t report it, it didn’t happen.”

That was before Dan Rather (thanks, Buckhead).

yeah but back then internet was not as big as it is now...

It wasn’t until Rathergate that it really exploded as alternate to mainstream media (and FR was a big part of that)

Wow, what a great point. I remember those days. The MSM smeared and ridiculed Drudge but he sure got the last laugh.

Trump could force it mainstream at the debate.
