Reply #78: How did Drudge shield himself from his rumors about Kerry?

[scottxyz]

Those were pretty outrageous rumors - which were quickly proven to be false. Druge didn't point to any sources - so it looks like he might have just made stuff up. How does he get away with this - does he have lawyers?

In a similar vein, Murdoch's sleazy UK paper "The Sun" initially quoted the parents of Alexa Polier (the woman Kerry allegedly had an affair with) as calling Kerry as "sleazeball". Later, when Polier's parents released a statement, they said they LIKE Kerry - making it look like Murdoch's "The Sun" had simply been lying. (I hear The Sun on previous occasions has paid large sums out of court to people they smear - so perhaps this is just an operating expense for Mr. Murdoch's sleaze-rag.)
