Drudge better look out, he is starting to sound more and more like a pundit and less like a newsman. He makes good points. But posting this in his section about the Kerry intern thing makes it look like he is just trying to defend himself for printing the story.

I think it is a great piece of reporting on media hypocrisy.

NOT! I think this is an accurate account of the double standard in the media.

Donna Brazile was the one that kept pushing this story to the press, IIRC. I wonder who she is working for this time around.

Drudge appears to have changed the ending of the editorial. This from an earlier version.

-------------
Consaon's reason #1?

"He cheats on his wife."

The rumor of President Bush having an affair was never proved by the media that raised the question aloud in the first place, and now claims with a straight face that affair rumors are strictly forbidden.

At least against their candidates.

Developing...

--------------
And the version as it read a few minutes ago

--------------
Consaon's reason #1:

"He cheats on his wife."

The rumor of President Bush having an affair was never proved by the media.

The developing Kerry drama may or maynot join it on the shelf.

So far I have sent e-mails to my local newspaper and to CNN telling them if they don't change this biased reporting, I, along with many others will boycott them. Will it do any good? Probably not, but I feel better after letting them know this Republicans position.

Good for you! We all need to keep hounding them. Hopefully one day they'll try to be a little more balanced and less hyprocritical.

I see it as Drudge providing refresher facts - just the the strategy I admire. No one should sit back and start reacting as if this is all a new story. Look at the Guard issue for heaven's sake... Bush has a lready gone through vetting the first time. The media is so brazen that they are actually reporting the innuendo from the 2000 election BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ANY REAL ONES IN 2004!

Something I wish Drudge would point out -- do you know who was quoted in Joe Conason's 1992 Spy article insinuating about Bush having a "Jennifer"? Hillary Clinton!
