What is up with Drudge???

Is Drudge going farther to the left or is he just principled?

3. i give him slightly more credit

than the average du'er.

however, he knows of scoops and issues adverse to bush and GOP and says nothing (diebold comes to mind)

he is still republican, quite fey, a radiohead fan, and missing many good points if he were truly the "journalist" he wants to be.

5. He's a 'tabloid journalist'

If it's shocking and titillating, you'll find it on Drudge.

I think he could care less about partisanship. Whatever story pushes buttons is what gets his attention.

7. It's abortion

Drudge actually got fired from his cable job for showing abortion pictures. Drudge is basically a one issue kinda guy. Arnold is pro-choice. Drudge wants to destroy him. He isn't becoming a leftist. He is acting as a principled hard core conservative.

9. I think his want to be the first out with a story...

...keeps him pretty balanced actually. I got into anti-war activism over what he was putting on his site about Iraq and the inspections...there was enough on there that I knew something strange was going on. There was a lot from the foreign press too it seemed.

There's still some right-wing sentiment I see though, like how he'll have stuff about actors and actresses and their political views, especially if it's something that would be considered scandalous.

10. I think Drudge is a puppet

and whoever pulls his strings does NOT want Arnold to win, for whatever reason.

12. Now he's done with the Gropenator segment of his WABC show

He has just switched into let's all kiss Rush's ass mode.
