drudge: newsite or gossip site?

[Muhammed]

it's gossip most of the time, in my humble opinion....the National Enquirer of Politics.....

Gossip sells, regular ole news really doesn't.

Actually gossip is his claim to fame because he broke the Clinton Lewenski affair.

 

[Dr.House]

you don't think pointed barbs at the nyt and 'global warming' isn't slanted?

The NY Slimes is a pro-left joke... Their demise is evidence of this... I would laugh at anyone who claimed it was an unbiased source if journalistic integrity...

Global warming is a farce helping Algore get rich...

These are not the topic of the thread's discussion... I heard claims Drudge is biased and I would like at least one leftie to show me examples of article headlines from the current front page that are biased against the left... As I said, this should be easy to do...


I'm sure you can cite an example, then... I await your link...



Drudge the man may be biased against the left, but I see the front page of Drudge as a clearinghouse of current events, both left and right sources...

and i don't answer to 'leftist'. i don't even know what a 'leftist' is unless we're talking extremists.

Then don't reply...

Leftist, as I use the tern, is anyone left of center.. I qualify the term leftist with "extremist" when I am referring to those types...

If you feel you meet the qualifications of "left of center leftist", then answer the question... If not, then pass it on by...

did you think the NY times was biased when judy miller acted as the bush admin's shill in moving this country toward an unnecessary war in iraq by writing untruths about WMD's?

you can see drudge as anything you want. and you discounted the two things i mentioned because you have a particular bias. i'm not going to argue with you about something when you disregard what i say. it's fine. you have your own idea. i disagree with you.

We disagree about a lot... That's because I am not left of center...

i call drudgereport drudge sludge. and if he's not a rightwing propaganda site, why do all the people who get their news from drudge seem to have really extreme rightwing views?

I've noticed that many on the left discount the site because Drudge the man is anti-left and has nothing to do with the articles posted on his site...

There are many who go there for late breaking news and it's not just rightwingers... Today I am getting quite a few good sources on the current storm from Drudge... I haven't seen anything slanted against the left...

as for left of center... on most issues i am and i'll cop to it. it doesn't make me a 'leftist' which has a similar sound and feel as when rightwingnuts say things like 'statist'. but since it's you, gomez, i'm not going to take offense at it or sweat it.

And just what do you mean when you use "rightwing"?...

Should I use the term "leftwing" to describe those of you "left of center"?

Dr. House is one of the biggest assclowns on this board.

The MFer is practically OBSESSED with a fictional character...a fictional JERK on top of that.

There's another ass-clown on the Right on this board thats OBSESSED with Mark Levin.

These mindless zombies put these demi-gods (in their feeble minds alone of course) as their avatars, they quote their books, they repeat and spew their platitudes, they defend them to the hilt without question and without reason. In essence...they worship them.

This is the Reich...I mean the Right of today.

A massive lost cause. This is why those of us with sense cannot take ANYTHING they say or do seriously.
*SMH*

WHY DON'T YOU CALL SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY GIVES A SHIT WHAT YOU DO OR DO NOT TAKE SERIOUSLY? aSSWIPE.

 

[WillowTree]

No, he was outed to damage the Bush Administration.

But that makes it okay, doesn't it?

Who's Jeff Gannon? I gather he's a conservative journalist that just happens to be gay?

Yet again, a thread devolves into the "who's gay" game.

Wtf?

do you read anything besides drudge sludge? your lack of knowledge is astounding.

jeff gannon was a gay escort that got press credentials from the bush whitehouse. he is widely presumed to be karl rove's boy toy... hence the press passes to someone who had no journalistic background.

Gannon routinely obtained daily passes to White House briefings, attending four Bush press conferences and appearing regularly at White House press briefings. Although he did not qualify for a Congressional press pass, Gannon was given daily passes to White House press briefings "after supplying his real name, date of birth and Social Security number."[2] Gannon came under public scrutiny for his lack of a journalistic background prior to his work with Talon[3][4] and his involvement with various homosexual escort service websites using the professional name "Bulldog."

We disagree about a lot... That's because I am not left of center...

true. but i'm not left on all issues and i've voted repub in every mayoral election i've ever voted in.

I've noticed that many on the left discount the site because Drudge the man is anti-left and has nothing to do with the articles posted on his site...

when the first link on a page mocks the NY Times, that's bias. You can agree with that bias or not (and your comment says you do) but it is nonetheless bias.

There are many who go there for late breaking news and it's not just rightwingers... Today I am getting quite a few good sources on the current storm from Drudge... I haven't seen anything slanted against the left...

most sources aren't going to 'slant' the weather, so that's not exactly a good gauge of bias (although drudge does manage a couple of potshots about it). and frankly, if it weren't a political thing, i would think weather.com would be a better source of weather info or your local news. personally, i used 1010wins for that.

as for left of center... on most issues i am and i'll cop to it. it doesn't make me a 'leftist' which has a similar sound and feel as when rightwingnuts say things like 'statist'. but since it's you, gomez, i'm not going to take offense at it or sweat it.

And just what do you mean when you use "rightwing"?...

Should I use the term "leftwing" to describe those of you "left of center"?

i mean extremists when i say rightwingnuts... people who hate the people who disagree with them or so misstate facts that there's no rational relationship between reality and what they say.

you used the term leftist. is that different from leftwing?

if you used the term leftwingnut i would assume it was the equal and opposite of rightwingnut.

and to be quite honest, i saw the drudge folk destroy a board i used to moderate because they posted the link to our site and all the drudgies came over and spammed us until our board was shut down.

 

[WillowTree]

Well.. The great thing about this country is we have a choice, we can read Drudge, the Huffington Post what ever..The problem with the libs is they want to shut down their opposition, They don't want descent, Which is why they like the "Fairness Doctrine" so you libs can bash Drudge all you want, that’s you're right. we're not trying to shut you up

That's what makes them commies.

 

[WillowTree]

first, i said 'presumed boy toy'. i did not state it as an irrefutable fact. the 'support' is that jeff gannon had no journalistic background. he worked as a gay escort. he was signed in to the white house's guest list on many occasions with no justification. rove was the one who would have gotten him his 'press credentials'.

and the fact that rove is/was married is meaningless as to whether he is gay and closeted or his wife is his beard. he would not be the first or last to live that type of lie.

i'll refer you to ken mellman who ran the gop's anti-gay strategy for the 2004 election.

and, dave, you know very well that my not liking someone is irrelevant to whether he is gay or not.

And lets not forget Bush's gay spiritual advisor.

how did anyone not know this guy was gay? didn't anyone in D.C. have gaydar?

So, it's fashionable now to pick on gay people? What a bigot.

i'm not picking on gay people, nutbar. and no matter how many times you try to pretend others are bigots, it doesn't fly, freakette.... no matter what color you post in or how big and stupid the font.

the point was that he's clearly gay. that's all, nothing more and nothing less... and if you think that any gay guy wouldn't have spotted him, you're even more stupid than you appear.

The first link on the site is "Blizzards Shuts Down Areas from New York City to Boston..."

Mocking the NYSlimes does not make one a "rightwinger", just anti faux journalism...

And the NYSlimes is faux journalism...

I never limit myself...

But if you'll notice, the links are to various meteorological sites... They're just links...

No, you said "rightwing"... Is that similar to what i term "leftist" (thiose left of center)?

you used the term leftist. is that different from leftwing?

honey... you ranted about presumptions. i merely directed you to one. if you're embarrassed that isn't an excuse to foam at the mouth. i merely suggested that if you don't know about a subject, you should maybe stay away from it.

you dance, but not well, I and anyone else reading this knows I was referring to your "presumption" that someone was "gay" and a "boy toy". I can't speak for anyone else but I don't want any attorny of mine kneejerking and "presuming" bullshit just cause they heard it and presume it too.

I believe you meant to say "sensemilla", not "sense".

*Yet another ReichWing loon of USMB posting gibberish*

"ReichWing". Ha. How so very original. Bet you're proud of parroting that, aren't you?

Why yes...yes I am.

You dumb CON$ are too dense to realize even the simplest of concepts.

The reason a gay person on the Reich, I mean the Right brings it on themselves is because their chosen political party has an open and on-going war against all things homosexuals.

This tends to make your average sensible individual outraged and feel obligated to out those in that party that are gay.

So when you guys say you want everybody's noses out of bedrooms...you're lying?

Yeah. Looks like you are.

Gibbering and jabbering your nonsense again? Yes, I believe you are.
