our friends here on the forum keep announcing the “death of the dinosaur media” but its being reborn:

>>>>>>>Now, as Obama and Senator John McCain look toward the fall, Drudge has emerged unexpectedly as more of a threat to the Republican than to the Democrat. This, combined with the rise of left-leaning sites such as Talking Points Memo and Huffington Post—both of which have proven effective in promoting and amplifying a Democratic message—reflects a major shift from the last two presidential elections, a matter of open alarm to Republican strategists and surprised satisfaction to Democrats.<<<<<<

Now, as Obama and Senator John McCain look toward the fall, Drudge has emerged unexpectedly as more of a threat to the Republican than to the Democrat.

This statement is ironic considering the GOP has been incrementally favoring the socialist left for several years to expand it's voter base. If anything Drudge is only helping the increasingly socialistic GOP if what Politico is reporting about Drudge is accurate.

Sadly, The Drudge report probably qualifies as an Obama 527 by now.
He has buried, ignored or only posted the Obama defense his website on the following stories. Drudge never reported the Obama gaffes about “typical white person”, 57 states, the numerous Memorial day screw ups,Michele's lovely “ taking some people's pie of the pie” speech , Hamas comments, Iranian comments ,ignored the Ayers scandal, ran only the Obama defense comments about Wright , and Bittergate. Then he has run as a headlines for two to three days these glowing Obama press release photo ops . Lets face it, Drudge is an Obama operative.

Rush & Drudge are joined at the hip & always have been. This is all part of Operation Chaos. And I know they are thrilled that they can even fool some FReepers.

Drudge has been ignoring and downplaying all of Obama’s negative stories and highlighting all of the negatives on Clinton and McCain.

He is completely in the tank for Obama and its sickening seeing I turn to online media because the MSM is so corrupt.

Very interesting article, even if it is in the Liberal Rag Politico. The author is correct, McCain could REALLY use a better and more positive coverage from Drudge. hum.... My own humble opinion is that it should come from McCain's Military service.... how to make that a story..... Those are the lines his campaign should be looking to. And finding out where Drudge has some of his moles stored.... Drudge LOVES thinking he's got the scoop, thats better than even a leak sometimes. Either way, the GOP had best pay attention.

Matt Drudge must be enjoying that article immensely! I think he enjoys being the man of mystery and whatever power that brings more than he needs to be seen as partisan. And it’s not hurting his bank account.
