I've been thinking about this article. Lucianne said as far as she knows Drudge does absolutely no independent reporting whatsoever. That just doesn't seem right -- I have heard him say on several occasions stuff like 'I'm here in NY getting dirt on this story:' and then he'll break it. I don't know, maybe that's not what she meant.

He does do independent reporting.
For example, the big bust up with O'Reilly
when he came on Drudge's show
to lie and deny that he was planning a radio show.

Drudge's sources proved correct in the end.
