Drudge Report

I've seen the Drudge Retort but it isn't a place I go to view news.
I guess I'm not the only one who has seen the discrepancy between the Drudge Headline and the article

I cut this from my Google search results



Drudge cites exit poll data, without the information



Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (blog)‎ - 5 minutes ago
The Drudge Report this afternoon breathlessly reports that exit polls from Tuesday's recall election show Gov. Scott Walker holding his seat.

Today on Drudge

THERE HE BOWS AGAIN: OBAMA MEETS MEX PRESIDENT...

and if you click on the link and read the comments, you'll see how the sheeple jump on the band wagon with no thought that perhaps the president might be leaning in to hear what the Mexican president was saying. *SMH* The only truth of the news link is the source itself which claims to scour the bowels of the internet. At least they admit to feeding shit to their readers... It's a good thing Drudge makes no claims of being "fair and balanced" as he remains true to the beginings of his news site which was an internet gossip column featuring stories from Hollywood and DC

It is no wonder that political discourse has degenerated the way it has. But this type of reactionary reporting isn't limited to the conservative pages. Think Progress has an article headline proclaiming SC representative Trey Gowdy called Nancy Pelosi "mind numbingly stupid" when that is not true. (well, not true that he called her that)

But, folks would have to actually read the article and view the video clip to realize the headline was misleading. Many on the left and right are guilty of the same mentality...If the headline said it, that settles it, I believe it. I bet The Powers That Be get a big guffaw watching how easily manipulatable the masses are and funnier still to watch both sides argue over who is most manipulated....

I'm absolutely positive Drudge is very popular with conservative readers.

Just go to the comments sections after any artlicle and that's easy to see.
