71. During it's first 2 months Drudge linked to them 45 times.

That is why I always refer to them as the "dressed up Drudge Report". Here's the Media Matters article on it. Some of their first articles were hit pieces on the Democratic candidates. They reported that Obama had a Jewish problem and Richardson was a womanizer. Both articles were based on rumors with little support. They also posted the rumor that Edwards was going to drop out because of his wife's health. Media Matters has 100's of articles detailing their misrepresentations.
