DRUDGE….Many years ago I had the bright idea that if you really wanted to understand everyday Americans, you ought to read the National Enquirer regularly. So I did for a few weeks — and then gave up. It was just too boring.
I feel the same way about Drudge. I read him from time to time because I know that other people do, but I always drift away because there’s really nothing much there. He only occasionally has exclusive news, and most of what he does have comes from sources inside MSM newsrooms and consists of a few sentences blurbing a story that shows up in its full form an hour or two later at the MSM site itself. Big deal. His roundups of basic news are no better than just reading a few front pages yourself. Sure, conservatives like him because he helped bring down the Clintons, but he hasn’t done much since then. For the rest of us, it’s basically kind of a boring site.
In other words, count me in Steve’s camp. I mean, I get it, but I still don’t get it. Why do people still read the guy? Isn’t he sort of the disco of right-wing news sites?
