I remember the Fox News web site tried this about a couple of years ago and it didn't work for them. The reason I go to Drudge is so that I don't have to go to places like ABC. If I am not going to watch their television shows why would I go to their web site.

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.
