Is the "Drudge Report" liberal?

[Trek234]

Quick question - is the "Drudge Report" liberal?

I have a friend who is just getting in to politics (mostly for gay rights) and I've been getting her acquainted with what's happening now. We even went to see Dennis K. in Austin this last Tuesday, which was very exciting because we both got to shake his hand. Long story on it all that I'm sure no one is interested in.

Well anyway, she recently asked me if two media sources were liberal. One of them was Rush (which I could most certainly answer). After I told her he was absolutely not liberal she said good "he's full of sh*t".

She did ask me if something she saw called the "Drudge Report" was liberal. I had heard of it before, but I honestly know nothing beyond the name. Thus I couldn't tell her much more than that. Does anyone know? Thanks!

2. Certainly not.

Don't go to Drudge for the truth.

3. I think politically he is conservative, with a libertarian bent, but

he will run with a scoop critical of anyone, conservative or liberal if he thinks it will bring hits to his site. That's how he makes money.



I have to add, the scoop doesn't have to be true.

4. I agree that

he is personally conservative, but above all else he is an oportunist and is ready to slam any one. He hated Arnold.

5. Nope, he's one of ann coulter's buddies but he

dislikes/is jealous of o'reilly. He didn't show arnold in a good light. He removed Charly Reese's link the day Reese dumped on bush*.

when you want it to be liberal. Sort of as a matter of convience.

Was it liberal to anyone when Matt was going full steam after Clinton?

7. He also put up a lot of stuff about Arnold

He posts what he thinks will bring the most traffic to his site. And he's pretty good at that.

8. Use it for a quick peek at the latest RW spin/headlines/rants

Also for late breaking news and leaks. Very biased though ... Use DU/LBN for your news source ... the very BEST !

9. Forget "political" stuff-----------He's EVIL

O.K., summary time here, his parents are Fed-employees, you'd think he'd be a Lib, but think-abouddit- -------------he grew up in the lap of luxuray, parents buying him a computer, etc.

He sold CBS souvenirs, heard the gossip about Big People, and SPREAD IT ALL. He(sic) learned how to NETWORK with the 'puter, found out that his similar-frustrated-dudes-were-spread-ALL-over-every-VENUE and are willing to SPREAD DISH WITHOUT LOYALTY EVERYWHERE.

10. no no no no no

11. What I

find to be the most ironic is that he is a mouthpiece for the conservative movement, and yet he is purportedly a homosexual.
