Matt Drudge is a Hack and I Will CRUSH Him

Well… maybe not. But I am going to start putting up screen grabs of the Drudge Report more often. It’s amazing that people still think his website is a neutral source of news because he only posts links. He doesn’t just post links. He writes the anchor text for the links, chooses which links he displays (and in which order), posts carefully chosen pictures, and writes headline anchor text that usually uses biased language. Check this out from today:

Okay. So Obama says his opposition is talking to him like a dog. Like he is less than them. Like they don’t respect him. This is very obviously true. It’s been true since he announced his intentions to run for President. Now… when he called himself a “mutt” he was referring to his mixed race heritage. That’s all. I’m sure that most people reading these two links have realized that the connection is not there at all, but that doesn’t mean it’s not stupid and immature. I’m just pointing this out because people do take Matt’s website seriously. Millions of people do. Daily. Both conservative and liberal pundits have admitted to reading through it for their daily news items. This website affects the news media in a big way. It influences the nation. This may seem like an exaggeration, but it’s not.

So yeah. Please don’t take this guy seriously. Thank you.
