I go to drudge because I don't have to filter half a page of annoying navigation and ads. Save for the banner at the top (and the popup which is removed by the google toolbar) the entire page is nothing but story headlines, often I don't even have to use the scrollbar.

Which means I can stay current on the news instantly with a minimal of fuss. Yahoo owned the internet until they swamped their readers in site navigation links, then everyone went to google.

Free Republic is nice for depth and obscure news, but for current headlines nothing beats drudge and most certainly not ABC which doesn't have the foggiest clue as to why drudge is the best news site on the net.

I forgot to mention that Drudge's site is my home page.

You are right when his page comes up it is all right there.

I think the ABC's and CNN's can't handle having anybody interfering in the way the news gets reported. Last I checked Drudge is just linking to places like ABC and the Washington Post. So what is the problem? We end up reading their stuff anyways. Unless it is the breaking news that Drudge scoops himself that they are miffed about. I am sure that is what it is all about. At the moment I put more credibility in a Drudge story than any thing from ABC.
