Yes, Drudge trashed O'Reilly for proposing to start a radio show when Rush was having his ear problems.
I like Drudge more than I like O'R, but I think Drudge hyped up that first story. Made it seem as if O'R was trying to take advantage of Rush's condition when the facts did NOT necessarily support that interpretation.
O'R is just plain wrong when he attacks Drudge as being inaccurate. Drudge makes too much of some facts and occasionally misinterprets some facts, but he is highly accurate.
O'R has an incredible ego, but still has a good show often.
