I enjoyed reading the article on Matt Drudge. In the article one GOP operative said in reference to Drudge, “If those tools are not part of the Republican vehicle for message delivery, that’s crippling.” Last time I checked Matt Drudge was a person, a person entitled to change his views and opinions as people often do. The fact that the anonymous GOP operative refers to Drudge as a tool of the republican vehicle is upsetting. Can a person who associates more with one party than the other never be critical of the party he/she associates with? The majority of the article tries to analyze why Drudge appeared “easy” on the democratic candidate Obama after being critical of the 2004 democratic candidate John Kerry. One said that he supports Obama because he has a strong libertarian streak why others said Obama brings people to the site. Either way I think that both statements are missing the point. I think it isn’t about how Drudge makes Obama appear on his site, it is the fact that he has so much power driving the national narrative of presidential politics. For a reporter who admits that only 80 percent of his stories are actually true it is incredible that he has the ability to influence what main stream media choose to cover. To top it all off he declines to comment about his site just furthering adding to the intrigue people have about him and his site.
