Default How Dishonest is Drudge?


Cadet read 'Kill Bin Laden' book during Obama speech...

Afghanistan - Yahoo! News Photos

A U.S. Army cadet reads a book entitled "Kill Bin Laden" as he waits with other cadets for U.S. President Barack Obama to deliver an address on U.S. policy and the war in Afghanistan at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, New York December 1, 2009. Obama is expected to announce a plan to send 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan over six months in a bid to beat back the Taliban and bring a quicker end to a costly and unpopular eight-year war.

What is your point Wildo?

Shouldn't you direct your ire at Reuters ... that's where it comes from?

Wasn't even isolated, dozens of them were doing what every other college student is doing around this time- reading and studying.



Compare that with some time later when the President was actually there...



And while he was speaking...

Matt Drudge very rarely does any reporting of his own. All his site does is provide links to news stories of the day. He makes an absolute fortune without ever doing any actual work or reporting.

That and highlighting the issue du jour.. he ran with Michelle's sneakers for about a week, this week it is about climate change... he beats a dead horse well.

Oops he has changed his focus since I started this AM,now he is on to Tiger and a divorce...

Find his sight fascinating on what he does and does not report, today he is reporting the Anderson Coopers ratings are down, but ignoring that the Washington Times are laying off 400 reporters and going to give away their newspaper for free...

He doesn't want Drudge to report it, I don't think Wildo knew at the time that other news agencys also reported it.

Many times Drudge will tell the world things that the Liberal Left Wing won't tell us that is why Drudge gets so many hits, in other words Drudge will tell us many things that a Left Wing outfit like MSNBC doesn't want us to know.

Carl Rove & Newt Gingrich are praising Obama for his Afghanistan move I doubt Mush Mouth Matthews will be talking much about that one but Drudge has it on the front page.

Obama/Gingrich/Rove now there's a threesome for the Liberals to swoon over.............

Drudge routinely adds misleading or downright dishonest titles to the stories he links to, knowing that many who read his site will just glance at it and not actually read the story.

Here he has the picture above the link that says "Cadet read 'Kill Bin Laden' book during Obama speech..." clearly implying that the cadet has no respect for Obama and is making a point by reading a book while he is speaking. When you click on the link it is clear that he is reading, along with others, while he waits for Obama to come out. Before you try and spin it as though it was a mistake or he wasn't saying what his link says, tell me why he would have the story out front and center on his page if it's just about a cadet reading a book before Obama came out? I don't care about the reporting of the "story" (if you notice it comes from a picture gallery on Yahoo!, and isn't actually a 'story' but rather a description of a picture), I have a problem with him finding a picture and using a downright dishonest title describing what is going on in the picture. I know you righties aren't that bright, but I really didn't think I'd have to spell it out for you like this. Wow.
