I'm looking forward to hearing Drudge's show tonight, & maybe hearing from some of you. :)

Maybe this is not the right time (or maybe it is), but speaking of Drudge, I am concerned about his phone call screener. Here's my story:

WABC's Lynne Samuels (worked for WABC for around 25 years, I think that's what I read) was a liberal talk show host AND was also a phone call screener for conservative Matt Drudge. I think she still is, because I recently heard Matt say Lynne (unless there is now another Lynne working for Drudge).

ANYWAY, when I heard that Joe Lieberman was excommunicated, I called Matt Drudge's radio show the Sunday night in November of 2000, JUST BEFORE THE TUESDAY ELECTION! Liberal Lynne Samuels WOULD NOT PUT ME THROUGH TO DRUDGE! Of course, Matt Drudge knows that Lynne Samuels is a liberal, & Drudge & Samuels seem to really like each other.

However, I wonder if Drudge realizes that she might do something like not let calls through that might change the opinion of some voters, if they knew the facts. I just want to bring this up now (for what it's worth), because there is another important election coming up.

I wonder if Drudge just might trust Lynne a bit more than he should.

I don't know the story about Matt or Lynne, and I have never talked to her. Perhaps some other threadsters will have insight, but tonight was weird in terms of participation. I do know that Lynne is a well-known liberal and Matt's a well-known conservative. Other than that, I can't answer your question. I'm sorry. Not putting the call through could have had more to do with content than with politics, though.
